Ribbon Seal Skull - This rare pelagic seal occurs throughout the Bearing Sea. Ribbon seals spend much of their lives away from shore, resting and birthing on pack ice. Although the ribbon seal moves fairly fast on land, their solitary lifestyle off sets any natural fear of humans, making them easy prey. In the 1960's, ribbon seal populations declined due to commercial over harvesting. With the introduction of management programs, ribbon seal populations are increasing and are now considered stable. Specifications: CLASS: Mammalia ORDER: Carnivora FAMILY: Phocidae Origin: North Pacific and Arctic Oceans.

Caluromys sp., The woolly opossum, smaller than its North American relative, is an arboreal species dwelling in forests throughout Central and South America. They are omnivorous and will eat fruits, berries, insects, small vertebrates and carrion. This solitary species makes its home in hollowed trees and is said to use its prehensile tail to carry foliage for bedding. Once heavily trapped for its fur, the woolly possum is now of little economic importance. *

Thylacinus cynocephalus., Now extinct, the Tasmanian wolf, also called the Tasmanian tiger, was once hunted as a pest throughout Tasmania and in parts of Australia. The last known wild specimen was shot in 1930. The last captive specimen died in 1936. Although the thylacine, a marsupial, is not a true wolf, it occupied much of the same predatory niche as modern wolves. When compared with the wolf, this species is an excellent example of convergent evolution. Other Names: "Tasmanian Tiger"
