Western New Mexico University houses a regional collection of mammal specimens (about 7000 specimens) focused on the biodiversity of southwestern New Mexico, with additional representatives of African and South American mammal faunas. This collection is part of the Gila Center for Natural History within the Department of Natural Sciences. The collection has grown slowly with incorporation of new specimens.
