Bears, Camels, and Monkeys, Oh My! Dive into the VWM Archives in this exploration of animals found in the collections. From bears in Alaska to stray dogs in South Vietnam and camels in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, our troops have seen and interacted with many animals. Some were adopted as mascots or pets, while others were more of a nuisance. Join VWM Archivist, Sylvia Marshall, as she looks through photographs, scrapbooks, and more. Learn about Virginians who recorded their wild encounters and the stories behind them.
