List of mammals of the United States

Summary

About 490 species of mammals are recorded in the United States. Unincorporated territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam or Northern Mariana Islands are not covered. Mammals introduced and extinct in the Holocene except Pleistocene/Holocene boundary are included.

According to the IUCN Red List 3 of these species are critically endangered, 20 endangered, 15 vulnerable, 20 near threatened and 4 extinct.[1]

Some species are identified as indicated below:

The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature:

EX Extinct No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.
EW Extinct in the wild Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized population well outside its previous range.
CR Critically endangered The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild.
EN Endangered The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
VU Vulnerable The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
NT Near threatened The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorize it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future.
LC Least concern There are no current identifiable risks to the species.
DD Data deficient There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species.

(v. 2013.2, the data is current as of March 5, 2014[1])

and the Endangered Species Act:

E Endangered
T Threatened
XN, XE eXperimental Nonessential or Essential population
E(S/A), T(S/A) Endangered or Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance

(the data is current as of March 28, 2014[2])

Subclass: Theria edit

Infraclass: Metatheria edit

Order: Didelphimorphia (common opossums) edit

 
Virginia opossum

Didelphimorphia is the order of common opossums of the Western Hemisphere. Opossums probably diverged from the basic South American marsupials in the late Cretaceous or early Paleocene. They are small to medium-sized marsupials, about the size of a large house cat, with a long snout and prehensile tail.

Infraclass: Eutheria edit

Order: Cingulata (armadillos) edit

 
Nine-banded armadillo

The armadillos are small mammals with a bony armored shell. They are native to the Americas. There are around 20 extant species. Only the nine-banded armadillo is found in the United States.

Order: Rodentia (rodents) edit

 
American beaver
 
Eastern gray squirrel
 
Fox squirrel
 
American red squirrel
 
Southern flying squirrel
 
White-tailed antelope squirrel
 
Black-tailed prairie dog
 
Yellow-bellied marmot
 
Round-tailed ground squirrel
 
Richardson's ground squirrel
 
Eastern chipmunk
 
Least chipmunk
 
Northern pocket gopher
 
Ord's kangaroo rat
 
Singing vole
 
White-footed mouse
 
Hispid cotton rat

Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. Most rodents are small though the capybara can weigh up to 45 kg (99 lb).

Order: Lagomorpha (lagomorphs) edit

 
American pika
 
Pygmy rabbit
 
Desert cottontail
 
Snowshoe hare

The lagomorphs comprise two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas). Though they can resemble rodents, and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such as having four incisors in the upper jaw rather than two.

Order: Eulipotyphla (shrews, hedgehogs, moles, and solenodons) edit

 
Marsh shrew
 
Smoky shrew
 
American water shrew

Eulipotyphlans are insectivorous mammals. Shrews and solenodons closely resemble mice, hedgehogs carry spines, while moles are stout-bodied burrowers.

Order: Chiroptera (bats) edit

 
Eastern small-footed bat
 
Townsend's big-eared bat
 
Western mastiff bat
 
Pocketed free-tailed bat
 
Mexican free-tailed bats
 
Ghost-faced bat
 
California leaf-nosed bat

The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of flight. Bat species account for about 20% of all mammals.

Order: Carnivora (carnivorans) edit

 
Coyote
 
Gray fox
 
American black bear
 
Grizzly bear
 
Ring-tailed cat
 
Raccoon
 
Stoat
 
American badger
 
California sea lion
 
Walrus
 
Hawaiian monk seal
 
Striped skunk

There are over 260 species of carnivorans, the majority of which feed primarily on meat. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition.

Order: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates) edit

 
Rocky Mountain elk
 
White-tailed deer
 
Pronghorn
 
Plains bison
 
Bighorn sheep

The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. There are about 220 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans.

Order: Sirenia (manatees and dugongs) edit

 
West Indian manatee

Sirenia is an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands.

Order: Cetacea (whales) edit

 
Bowhead whale
 
North Atlantic right whale
 
Fin whale
 
Humpback whale
 
Gray whale
 
Pygmy sperm whale
 
Dall's porpoise
 
Sperm whale
 
Common bottlenose dolphin
 
Striped dolphin
 
White-beaked dolphin
 
Killer whale

The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater.
