    Hey guys, I was wondering if you can know most if not all of the taxidermed species of mammals at the Kenneth E. Behring Hall of Mammals at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC.

    I don't remember all of them but I do know they have the following species:
    Bengal Tiger
    Bongo
    Bush Dog (The only museum I can think of that has this)
    Capybara
    Dama Gazelle
    Giant Anteater
    Giant Panda
    Gray Wolf
    Grizzly Bear
    Giraffe
    Grevys Zebra
    Hippopotamus
    Jaguar (a black one)
    Koala
    Lion
    Maned Wolf
    Moose
    Okapi
    Orangutan
    Polar Bear
    Sable Antelope
    Scimitar Horned Oryx
    Striped Hyena
    Thylacine (Now extinct; I believe this is the only museum in the USA that has one)
    Walrus
    Waterbuck
    West Indian Manatee (with calf)
    Western Lowland Gorilla
    White Rhinoceros (Shot by Theodore Roosevelt in 1909)
    Wild Boar

    Do you know all of the mammals that are at that exhibit? Can you please make a list of them all?

    Note: This only includes the mammals in the Kenneth E. Behring Hall of Mammals. The African elephant in the Rotunda does not count.
