Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SINHHM_040912_002.JPG: Southern two-toed sloth Count this sloth's front claws to see how it got its name. This slow-moving mammal eats, sleeps, and even gives birth upside-down.
2. SINHHM_040912_007.JPG: Red fox. Yes, this really is a red fox. The silver coat is a color variation. This fox species has adapted to many different habitats including forest, tundra, and prairie.
3. SINHHM_040912_018.JPG: Binturong This long-haired mammal uses its grasping tail like a fifth limb to climb through the tropical forest in search of insects, birds, fruit, and leaves.
4. SINHHM_040912_030.JPG: Walrus. Walrus milk contains 35 percent fat -- more than 10 times the amount in human milk. Walrus pups feed on this creamy diet for up to two years.
5. SINHHM_040912_045.JPG: Ring-tailed lemur. Infant ring-tailed lemurs like this one live on their mother's milk for the first four months of life. They travel by gripping tightly to the mother's fur.
6. SINHHM_040912_057.JPG: African civet. This ground-dwelling civet can seem to double in size by fluffing out its shaggy hair and raising the crest of long hairs on its back.
7. SINHHM_040912_084.JPG: Pink fairy armadillo. This is the smallest armadillo species. The armored plate at the rear of its body can seal its burrow opening like a vault door.
8. SINHHM_040912_091.JPG: American pika. These highly vocal mountain-dwellers have a wide variety of calls. They are well adapted to extreme cold, with high body temperatures and thick fur.
9. SINHHM_040912_102.JPG: Moose. Long legs and broad hooves enable the moose to plow through deep snow and forage in water. It is the largest living member of the deer family.
10. SINHHM_040912_110.JPG: Chinese pangolin. Where's this mammal's hair? It's at the base of its tough scales. When threatened, these insect-eaters coil into such tight balls that it's nearly impossible to unroll them.
11. SINHHM_040912_116.JPG: Chinese water deer. The tusks of this primitive deer are enlarged canine teeth, which deer had before horns and antlers evolved. Males use the tusks in contests for females.

Hall of Mammals

The Behring Hall of Mammals designed by Reich + Petch is a multi-award winning gallery. The design is innovative and welcoming. The mammal specimens are presented as works of modern art within strikingly minimal environmentals. Visitors discover mammal's evolutionary adaptions to hugely diverse contexts, and ultimately discover that they too are mammals.

The museum has the largest collection of vertebrate specimens in the world, nearly twice the size of the next largest mammal collections, including historically important collections from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its collection was initiated by C. Hart Merriam and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (later the Department of Interior), which expanded it in the 1890s-1930s.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
