NHMD Mammalogy Collection

Authors: Johansson, Daniel Klingenberg;
Abstract

The mammal collection comprises approx 56,000 specimens, the oldest of which date back to 1649. Around 1,600 of the World’s 5,488 (estimated in April 2015) mammal species are represented.We have impressive series of most Danish and Greenlandic mammals, including terrestrial and marine carnivores (polar bear, Arctic fox, red fox, walrus, seals), rodents (red squirrels), mustelids (Eurasian otter, European badger, martin, polecat, marmot) bovids (musk ox), cervids (reindeer, red deer, roe deer) and bats. The geographic span of our material furthermore includes particularly rich collections from East Africa, Sudan, Southeast Asia, and Brazil (incl. the recent Lagoa Santa material collected by PW Lund in the mid-1880s).We have a large collection of whales from Greenland and Denmark, and large series of sperm whale, narwhal, beluga, harbor porpoise and white-beaked dolphin.Pattedyrsamlingen omfatter ca. 56.000 genstande, hvoraf den ældste dateres tilbage til 1649. Cirka 1.600 af verdens 5.488 (estimeret i april 2015) pattedyrarter er repræsenteret.Vi har imponerende serier af de fleste danske og grønlandske pattedyr, inklusive land- og havkødædere (isbjørn, polarræv, rødrev, hvalros, sæler), gnavere (røde egern), mårdyr (eurasatisk odder, europæisk grævling, mår, væsler, murmeldyr, skedehornede (moskusokse), hjortedyr (rensdyr, hjorte, rådyr) og flagermus. Det geografiske område for vores materiale inkluderer desuden særligt rige samlinger fra Østafrika, Sudan, Sydøstasien og Brasilien (inkl. Det nylige materiale fra Lagoa Santa, der blev indsamlet af PW Lund i midten af 1880'erne).Vi har en stor samling af hvaler fra Grønland og Danmark, hvoriblandt en stor serie af kaskelothval, narhval, hvidhval, marsvin og hvidnæbbet delfin.
