List of mammals of Oregon

Add article description

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

Carnivora

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]

More information Common name, Scientific name authority ...

Common name	Scientific name authority	Family	Distribution and notes^[1]	Red List
Coyote	Canis latrans (Say, 1823)	Canidae	Intermediate size between foxes and wolf; albinos have been documented in state; two of nineteen geographic races are known in the state.^[5]	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.	7 ^[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]	7 ^[14]
Black bear	Ursus americanus (Pallas, 1780)	Ursidae
Grizzly bear	Ursus arctos (Linnaeus, 1758)	Ursidae	Extirpated; historically, they were broadly distributed throughout state except for arid eastern reaches. The last grizzly was killed in Oregon in 1931, according to some authorities.^[15]
Wolverine	Gulo gulo	Mustelidae	Extirpated; occasional vagrants appear from neighboring states.
Pacific marten	Martes caurina (Merriam, 1890)	Mustelidae
American ermine	Mustela richardsonii	Mustelidae
Long-tailed weasel	Neogale frenata	Mustelidae
American mink	Neogale vison	Mustelidae
Fisher	Pekania pennanti (Erxleben, 1777)	Mustelidae	Reintroduced; protected in Oregon.^[16]
American badger	Taxidea taxus	Mustelidae	More common in sagebrush deserts in eastern Oregon.
Sea otter	Enhydra lutris	Mustelidae	Extirpated; the last native sea otter in Oregon was killed in the early 20th century. In 1970 and 1971, 95 sea otters were reintroduced from Amchitka Island, Alaska, to the southern Oregon coast. However, the attempt failed and otters soon disappeared. Occasional sightings are most likely wanderers from neighboring states.
North American river otter	Lontra canadensis	Mustelidae
Striped skunk	Mephitis mephitis	Mephitidae
Western spotted skunk	Spilogale gracilis	Mephitidae
Northern fur seal	Callorhinus ursinus	Otariidae
Steller sea lion	Eumetopias jubatus	Otariidae
Harbor seal	Phoca vitulina	Phocidae
Northern elephant seal	Mirounga angustirostris	Phocidae
Ring-tailed cat	Bassariscus astutus	Procyonidae
Raccoon	Procyon lotor	Procyonidae
Canada lynx	Lynx canadensis	Felidae	Extirpated; historically ranged through the Willamette Valley, the Cascade range, Steens Mountain, the Stinkingwater Mountains, the Blue Mountains and the Wallowa Mountains.^[17] Under federal ESA protection since 2000 with critical habitat areas defined.^[18]	7 ^[18]
Bobcat	Lynx rufus	Felidae
Mountain lion	Puma concolor	Felidae

Lagomorpha

The order Lagomorpha consists of two living families: the Leporidae (hares and rabbits) and the Ochotonidae (pikas). The name of the order is derived from the Greek lagos (λαγός, "hare") and morphē (μορφή, "form"). There are eight species in Oregon.^[39]
