List of mammals of Oregon
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]

Terrestrial mammals
Carnivora
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 recently made a much publicized reappearance in Oregon 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]

---|---|---|---|---|
Gray wolf |
Canis lupus (Linnaeus, 1758) |
Canidae | As of the end of 2013, there were a minimum 64 individuals with 4 breeding pairs.[5] Protected under the state Endangered Species Act and under the federal ESA west of highways.[6] First confirmed in western state since 1947 was OR-7 (pictured), also known as Journey. | |
Grizzly bear |
Ursus arctos (Linnaeus, 1758) |
Ursidae | 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.[8] | |
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.[9] | |
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.[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.[13] | |
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)[13] | |

In 1970 and 1971, 95 sea otters were reintroduced from Amchitka Island, Alaska, to the southern Oregon coast. However, this translocation effort failed and otters soon disappeared. Occasional sightings are most likely wanderers from neighboring states. | |
