Abstract
The Mammal Collection of the Universidad del Valle (UV) has 13683 specimens (count until January 2022) classified into 14 orders, 57 families, 202 genera, and 384 species, collected since 1966 in 27 of the 32 departments of Colombia. Additionally, the collection houses specimens from countries such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, the United States, and Venezuela. In the collection, there are individuals of endemic or rare species such as Handleyomys intectus, Proechimys canicollis and Neogale felipei, as well as the holotypes of the taxa Orthogeomys thaeleri Alberico, 1990, Platyrrhinus chocoensis Alberico & Velasco, 1991, and Cynomops kuizha Arenas-Vivero et al. 2021. The collection also houses individuals of exotic species such as Macropus rufus (red kangaroo), Panthera tigris (tiger), and Ursus arctos (brown bear), as well as a collection of North American specimens, including the mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) and the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus). The collection specimens have been used in developing scientific research at a national and international level, training of biologists at a regional level, and community outreach.
