Have you ever heard about a Pangolin?  What about a Colugo, a flying lemur that soars through the air on folds of skin?  

These two incredible but little-known mammals were both at the Burke Museum's "Meet the Mammals" event last weekend.  Last Saturday the Burke Museum opened up its doors to the public to showcase its diverse mammal collection of skulls, skins and skeletons. There were lots of cool mammals to show off with over 5,400 known mammal species in the world.

The Predator Ecology lab was invited to share our wolf ecology research at the Conservation table at Meet the Mammals.  Below are photos of graduate students Carolyn Shores and Shannon Kachel with wolf, coyote, and mule deer fawn specimens, along with our radio tracking equipment.

We had a lot of questions and interest about wolves and their return to Washington.

From walruses to wombats, it was a day filled with mammals and lots of interested visitors, both young and old. The Predator Ecology Lab will be back at Meet the Mammals next year with graduate student Shannon Kachel showcasing his research on snow leopards, don't miss it!
