"dcterms:description": "english: lin spotted this striped skunk from our honda cr-v at highway speed while we were southbound on id highway 20 from west yellowstone mt to moose wy in mid-april 2010. the more direct route from yellowstone national park to grand teton national park via yellowstone's south entrance was still closed by snow. given our avocation as wildlife photographers devoid of species bias, we quickly pulled over and grabbed our cameras. the skunk was foraging in snow along a stream that crossed the highway, where a concrete bridge abutment provided some measure of safety. it seemed to pay us no mind when, after taking a few photos while crouching behind the abutment, we ventured onto the snow in cautious pursuit. we followed at a distance of 50 feet (15 m) until the skunk made a meandering u-turn and began closing the distance between us at an uncomfortable pace. always the thoughtful one, lin pointed out that the skunk seemed more agile than i in knee-deep snow, which triggered a tactical retreat on my part. but not before getting this shot and even a little bit of video from about 20 feet (6.1 m). that prompted some concern from lin over the safety of her nikon d-90, which i was using at the time, so i bid farewell to the skunk and returned to the car. in hindsight, we must have provided quite a spectacle for passersby as we trailed the skunk across the snow, cameras and tripod in hand. things might have ended differently if the skunk had objected to our curiosity, but as things turned out the encounter yielded a fun and memorable addition to our species list.",

"description": "The Division of Mammals contains over 327,000 catalogued specimens and is among the 3 largest in the world. Specimens date back to the 1880's with the majority documenting the rapid environmental change that has occurred since the 1950's. The collections are taxonomically broad, representing 25 orders, 106 families, 543 genera, ~1,750 species. The majority from the Orders Rodentia (249,000), Chiroptera (27,000), Carnivora (20,000), Eulipotyphla (16,000) and Artiodactyla (7,800). The collections are world-wide in scope (78 countries and all 50 US states) with particularly strong holdings from Western North America (225,000 specimens), Beringia and high latitudes (39,000 from Alaska, Russia and Canada), Mongolia (6,500 specimens and parasites), and Latin America (10,200 specimens from Bolivia, 10,000 from Panama, 7,000 from Chile, and 5,400 from Argentina). The collection contains 89 holotypes or paratypes, 185 parasite symbiotypes and 22 virus symbiotypes. Important collections integrated into the MSB include the USGS Biological Surveys collection (30,000), the UIMNH (Hoffmeister) Collection (33,000), and the Rausch Collection (4,000 specimens and parasites). Specimens range from traditional skin/skull and fluid vouchers to \"holistic vouchers\" containing skin, skull, post-cranial skeleton, up to seven tissue types (heart, kidney, liver, lung, spleen, muscle, blood), cell suspensions, and ecto and endo parasites. Additionally, frozen tissue samples are available for about 200,000 individual mammals and date back to the late 1970's. 37,000 specimens have serology data associated with hantavirus surveillance programs in the Americas. The MSB houses an extensive archive of field journals and catalogues that date to the 1900's and are associated with specimens held in the collection. The collections are growing rapidly through the active research programs of curators, staff and students and ongoing collaborations with other institutions and governmental agencies.",
