Hi, Kaleigh. You could try contacting the National Wildlife Property
Repository
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.fws.gov_le_national-2Dwildlife-2Dproperty-2Drepository.html&d=AwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=GoHa5l8z91-HvNUePRinED8R-6ClKYvJUJuE4oxVAgo&s=czEFpFqhbaD5z1z2YR8V8lSA9tYtq7beRa0afKoZm-o&e= >. They
work with specimens of endangered animals and might have some insights for
you.

Good luck!
