Occurrence Data of Small Carnivores (Mammalia, Carnivora) in the National Museums of Kenya Zoology Collection

This dataset provides information for all specimen records of small carnivores housed in both the Mammalogy and Osteology sections of the Mammal Collection at the National Museums of Kenya. A small carnivore in this instance is designated as any member of the mammalian Order Carnivora with adult males and females weighing on average less than 15 kg. For Kenya, this includes 31 species of carnivores. These data were generated in collaboration with students from Karatina University through workshops sponsored through Mpala Research Centre and using funds provided through the European Union and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility Biodiversity in Development grant program.
