Hi I'm starting a NPO next year for the rehab primarly for bats but will expand to other animals. Most of our work except for the care will be education & research. I'm also working on my DVM and hope to do research which will be also a specialty in necroposies. So I'll will have a lot dead bats and maybe other animals I'd like to learn how to save these guys to a university or for research or educational purposes rather than thow them in the trash. I hope someone has written a book or has an online tutorial. your help is appreciated.

They are the Mamalogists at the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History at Norman Oklahoma who will give you any info you wish, or simply take the specimens from you if they deem them worth cataloguing. Keep all data on them! (ON a side note, many years ago in a museum in Michigan we got hundreds of necropsied bats, all with the top of the skulls removed while looking for rabies. About 10% of the popultaion had it. Needless to say, we didn't get these specimens - nor did I want to prepare them.)
