Karen Vance wrote about wanting to identify the gift she received; fake fur
or...? I cannot tell from your e-mail address where you live, but at any
large university, the Biology (or Zoology) Dept. will probably have a
mammology specialist, with a collection of animal skins, and could identify
it for you. If you live near a U.S. border, the US Dept. of the Interior,
Fish & Wildlife Service, should have an office which deals in identification
of items brought across the border (legally and not); you'd be amazed the
things they collect from unwary or unethical border-crossers. Finally, any
large Natural History Museum and many large zoos will have mammology
collections and mammologists who could probably identify a skin. Let's hope
it's a faux-fur just for fun!
