List of mammals of Florida
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Florida_State_Mammals.png/300px-Florida_State_Mammals.png)
This is a list ofmammal species found in the wild in the American state ofFlorida.One hundred sixteen species of mammals are known to inhabit, or have recently inhabited, the state and its surrounding waters. This includes a few species, such as theblack-tailed jackrabbitandred deer,that were introduced after thearrival of Europeans.It also includes the extinctCaribbean monk sealandFlorida black wolf.Rodents account for roughly one quarter of all species, followed closely by mammals from the familiesCetaceaandCarnivora.
The species included in this list are drawn from the work of theAmerican Society of Mammalogists(ASM), which compiled information from five different publications.[3]Information on the international conservation status of species has been drawn from theIUCN Red List.
Chiroptera
[edit]Of the bats listed below, thirteen are confirmed to be resident species - all of them are insectivorous. Eight species had very low numbers reported, and can be classified as accidental species: theIndiana bat,Jamaican fruit bat,buffy flower bat,Cuban flower bat,Cuban fig-eating bat,little brown bat,northern long-eared myotis,and thesilver-haired bat.[4]
Bats can be classified in two groups by their roosting habits: solitary-roosting and colony-roosting bats.
Solitary bats prefer to live in leaves, palm fronds, andSpanish moss.Resident bats in this category are theeastern red bat,thenorthern yellow bat,and theSeminole bat.Hoary batsare not considered residents, because they migrate toMexicoandSouth Americato spend the winter, but are considered a native species.[5]
The remaining species are considered to be colony-roosting bats. Darker than their solitary counterparts and less furry, these bats prefer to live under bridges, in tree holes or caves. Only three Florida species live in caves: theeastern pipistrelle,thegray batand thesoutheastern myotis.Florida has the highest concentration of southeastern myotis in the world.[5]
The greatest threat to bats in Florida is the disturbance or destruction of roost sites, due to eithervandalismorurban development.[5]

Carnivorans
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/Florida_Panther.jpg/230px-Florida_Panther.jpg)
Coyotesarrived in northern Florida in the 1970s as their natural range expanded. Illegal releases, as well as the extirpation of thered wolfandgray wolffrom the state, were factors in their occupation of the state. Coyotes are extremely adaptable, living in all types of forests and farms.[32]
Florida has two types of foxes. The nativegray foxcan be found in the United States almost anywhere, except the northern plains andRockies.It is sometimes confused with thered foxdue to having patches of red hair.[33]The red fox was introduced to Florida by hunting clubs, although it may have been native in the northern panhandle. Its preferred habitats are open areas, while the gray fox prefers woods.[34]
Red wolveswere once common throughout the southeastern US, including Florida. Extinct in the wild in 1980, it has been progressively introduced to selectnature preserves.The present population was introduced as part of this recovery program in 1997 to theSaint Vincent National Refuge;[35]once red wolf pups reach 18 months, they are relocated to theNorth Carolinaportion of the program.[36]A subspecies ofred wolf,theFlorida black wolf(Canis rufus floridanus) was also endemic to the state, but became extinct in the 19th century.
Bobcatsare well adapted to urban development and are not a conservation concern. They make their home inhammocks,forests or swamps.[37]
TheFlorida pantheris a population ofcougarsfound in Florida. It differs from other populations by having longer legs, a smaller size, and a shorter darker coat. The skull of the Florida panther is broader and flatter with highly arched nasal bones.[38]Reportedly only seventy adult animals are alive,[39]and a 1992 study estimated that the subspecies would become extinct between 2016 and 2055.[40]It was chosen in 1982 as the Florida state animal by the state's schoolchildren.[41]
Two of the eleven species ofskunkslive in Florida. Both theeastern spotted skunkand thestriped skunkcan be found statewide (except for the Keys).
Small populations of the Everglades mink (Neogale vison evergladensis), a subspecies ofAmerican mink,are encountered nearLake Okeechobee,and in theBig Cypress Swamp-Everglades National Parkarea.[42]
North American river ottersare a common sight close to freshwater streams in Florida. The population is increasing.[43]
Raccoonsare prevalent in the contiguous 48 states, including Florida. Adaptable to almost all kinds of habitats, they are among the few which actually benefit from human development, since food becomes more available. Attacks by predators like the bobcat cause minimum mortality, and the main reason for raccoon deaths is considered to be car accidents.[44]They are predators ofsea turtlenests.[45]
TheFlorida black bear(Ursus americanus floridanus) is a subspecies of the American black bear. Differences between subspecies are very small; the Florida black bear has a highly arched forehead and a long and narrow braincase.[46]Estimates for 2002 indicated the number of bears statewide to be between 2,000 and 3,200, indicating an increase from the previous census in 1998. The biggest cause of concern isroadkill,although the rates of mortality are equivalent to other areas in the country.[47]
Florida does not have seal colonies, but stray seals come ashore in Florida occasionally. The most prevalent of those have been thecommon sealand thehooded seal,although abearded sealwas seen in 2007.[48]TheCaribbean monk sealwas native to theCaribbean Seaand theGulf of Mexico.Once a popular prey forBahamasfishermen, their numbers diminished greatly in the 1800s. The last sighting of the species in Florida was in 1922, and specimens have not been seen anywhere since 1952.[49]

Of the several whales seen close to Florida, the most frequent and notable visitor is theNorth Atlantic right whale.Named as such because they were the "right" whales to kill, their only known calving ground is located off the coasts of Georgia and Florida. Pregnant females migrate from feeding grounds located far north and deliver calves from mid-December to March.[86]Humpback whalesare also re-colonizing the area whilegray whales,once cavorting off Florida for the same reasons as the right whales, were extirpated from the Atlantic in the 17th and 18th centuries.[87]
The most common dolphin in the state is thecommon bottlenose dolphin.Dolphins, like manatees, are vulnerable tored tideand have mass fatalities when one occurs.[88]Dolphins were designated the Florida state saltwater mammal in 1975.[89]

Even-toed ungulates
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Keydeer2.gif)
The only native even-toed ungulate is thewhite-tailed deer.It is the most economically important hunting mammal in all of North America, and is one of the major prey animals of the Florida panther. There were only about 20,000 deer in Florida during the late 1930s, and the species was almost extinct in South Florida due to a campaign to eliminatetick-borne diseases.Hunt restraining measures and purchases from other states were very successful bringing the population to more than 700,000 deer statewide. A smaller subspecies, theKey deer,lives only in the Keys and numbers around 800 animals.[137]Sambar deerwere introduced in 1908 as alternative game for hunters on Saint Vincent Island. The population is between 700 and 1,000; 130 hunters are licensed per year, and each can kill up to two deer.[138]Somered deerwere released from a hunting ranch around 1967 and may still exist as a small herd.[139]
Wild boar found their way to Florida in 1539 with Spanish colonistHernando de Soto.Florida has 12% of the three million boars that roam in the US.[140]They are a popular hunting prey, but are regarded as a pest, due to the damage they inflict to agriculture and environment. More than 21,000 boar were killed in 1980 alone.[141]

Rodents
[edit]Of the several species of rodents in Florida, the subspecies ofoldfield mouseare the biggest conservation concern, along with theFlorida mouseandFlorida salt marsh vole.Six of eight subspecies of the oldfield mouse (commonly namedbeach mice) are in endangered status, and one is extinct. Given causes for their demise is predators like cats and red foxes and destruction of their natural habitats.[181]The Florida mouse is on the endangered species list because of destruction of their habitat. The Florida bonneted bat, Florida mouse and Florida salt marsh vole are the only mammal speciesendemicto Florida. The mouse depends on thegopher tortoise(also endangered) for its survival, because it makes its burrows from tortoise burrows, or in the absence of those, oldfield mouse burrows.[182]
Non-native species brought in boats by colonizers are theblack rat,brown ratandhouse mouse.Other non-natives are thecapybara,thenutriaand theMexican gray squirrel.[183]

Shrews and moles
[edit]Four species ofshrews(eulipotyphlans) are found across Florida. Two known subspecies are the Homosassa shrew (Sorex longirostris eionis) and Sherman's short-tailed shrew (Blarina carolinensis shermanii).[223]One of their main predators is the cat. Completing the Eulipotyphla are two species ofmoles.

Trichechus manatus latirostrisis one of the two subspecies of theWest Indian manatee.This herbivorous aquatic mammal lives in rivers, springs and shallow coastal waters. It was designated the state marine mammal in 1975[229]and is protected by federal and state laws. Threatened by habitat loss, entanglements in fishing gear and crab traps, or by being asphyxiated or crushed by canal locks and flood gates, the most common cause for manatee deaths is being struck by boats, which caused one quarter of all deaths recorded since 1974. In 2015, the statewide population was estimated at 6,063.[230]
