List of mammals of Oregon

Summary

This list of mammals of Oregon includes all wild mammal species living in or recently extirpated from the U.S. state of Oregon or its coastal shores. This list includes all species from the lists published by the American Society of Mammalogists or found in the comprehensive text Land Mammals of Oregon published in 1998. Rare instances where these lists disagree are noted. Species are grouped by order and then listed in sortable tables by family. Subspecies present in the region are discussed in the notes. The IUCN Red List status for each species is presented. Images presented are from Oregon or adjacent states, as possible. Species found only in captivity are not listed.[1][2]

The North American beaver is the state mammal of Oregon.

Terrestrial mammals edit

Carnivora edit

 
Between 25,000 and 30,000 black bears reside in Oregon.[3]

Carnivora (/kɑːrˈnɪvərə/ or /ˌkɑːrnɪˈvɔːrə/; from Latin carō (stem carn-) "flesh", + vorāre "to devour") is one of the most diverse of the mammalian orders. The gray wolf has recolonized Oregon especially in the northeast and is included in the list below. The grizzly bear was extirpated from the state in approximately 1940. Since it is included in Land Mammals of Oregon, it is included in the list below.[4]

7
 
[6]
Gray wolf
 
Canis lupus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Canidae Resettled in the state. Gray wolves in Oregon represent northwestern wolves (Canis lupus occidentalis) which migrated from neighboring Idaho; as of the end of 2013, there were a minimum 64 individuals with 4 breeding pairs.[7] Protected under the state Endangered Species Act and under the federal ESA west of highways.[8] The first confirmed wolf in the state since 1947 was OR-7 (pictured), also known as Journey.

[9]
Gray fox
 
Urocyon cinereoargenteus
(Schreber, 1775)
Canidae Found throughout the state; grizzle gray coloring; tail has black stripe on dorsal aspect; nocturnal and crepuscular; tree climber for resting, foraging or escape from predators (unique among North American canids)[10]
7
 
[11]
Kit fox
 
Vulpes macrotis
(Merriam, 1888)
Canidae Southeast region of state; smallest canid in North America; brownish-gray dorsum, lightening through buff to white on abdomen; large ears; tip of tail is black.[10]
7
 
[12]
Red fox
 
Vulpes vulpes
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Canidae Found throughout state; red phase individuals are more predominant than silver or crossed; populations increased as wolf populations declined; subspecies Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpes vulpes necator) observed on Mt Hood and Crater Lake in or after 2010.[13]

Grizzly bear
 
Ursus arctos
