This collection contains a single photograph of a group of NC State wildlife biology students who called themselves the “Mammal Rangers.” The photograph is dated circa 1980.
Sam Zeveloff (1950-) is a retired professor of zoology. He taught zoology courses at Weber State University from 1984-2017. He graduated from N.C. State University with his M.S. in Wildlife Biology in 1976. He was an instructor in the Department of Zoology at N.C. State from 1976-1978. He also served as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology from 1982-1984.
Sam Zeveloff is pictured in this photo. He was part of a group called the "Mammal Rangers", named after the name of the mammal collection room in Gardner Hall. The name of this room, the Mammal Range, was likely created by Dr. Frederick S. Barkalow.
Dr. Barkalow became a professor of zoology at N.C. State College from 1947 until his retirement in 1979. He also served as head of the department from 1950 to 1963. During his career at N.C. State, Barkalow had teaching and research responsibilities in both the Zoology Department and the School of Forestry. His extensive research resulted in many publications, including a definitive study of the gray squirrel which was published in 1973. Dr. Barkalow received many honors and awards during his career. In 1979, he became the first member of the N.C. Wildlife Conservation Hall of Fame for his "lifetime of dedicated service" to wildlife conservation. He also served on numerous private environmental organizations and state conservation commissions.
