Mammals

White-tailed deer are everywhere, especially at dawn and dusk on the savanna edges. Beavers and muskrats work the backwaters — look for gnawed stumps along the river trail — and river otters are seen occasionally. Red foxes, raccoons and coyotes hunt the fields. Black bears are recorded around Marine too, and the National Park Service has warned of increased bear activity along the Riverway.

Naturalists have logged 35 species of mammals within 10 km of the village. The most species are recorded in April. Below are the 29 species with at least two research-grade records, most-recorded first.
