Abundant in all slide rock.

Rocky Mt. Cottontail (_Sylvilagus nuttalli grangeri_)
Plentiful about Gardiner and in some of the lower regions of
the Park, but not general.

Snowshoe Rabbit (_Lepus bairdi_)
Common and generally distributed.

White-tailed Jack Rabbit (_Lepus campestris_)
Common and generally distributed.

Mountain Lion, Cougar or Puma (_Felis hippolestes_)
In 1897 it was considered extremely rare; probably not more
than a dozen were then living in the Park; since then it
seems to have increased greatly and is now somewhat common
in the mountainous parts. Their numbers are given officially
at 100 in 1912.

Canada Lynx (_Lynx canadensis_)
Common.

Bobcat or Mountain-cat (_Lynx uinta_)
Somewhat common.

The Big-tailed Fox (_Vulpes macrourus_)
Common.

Timber Wolf (_Canis occidentalis_)
Very rare, noticed only at Hell Roaring Creek and Slough
Creek. On August 25, 1912, Lieut. M. Murray saw two in a
meadow two miles southeast of Snow Shoe Cabin on Slough
Creek. They were plainly seen in broad daylight; and were
nearly white.

Coyote (_Canis latrans_)
Abundant everywhere, although officially reckoned they
numbered only 400 in 1912.

Otter (_Lutra canadensis_)
Common, particularly around the Lake and the Canyon.

Mink (_Lutreola vison energumenos_)
Common.

Long-tailed Weasel (_Putorius longicauda_)
Said to be found. I did not see any.

Short-tailed Weasel (_Putorius cicognanii_)
Included because its range includes the Park.

Marten (_Mustela caurina_)
Found throughout the Park, but not common.

Pekan or Fisher (_Mustela pennanti_)
Rare. Gen. G. S. Anderson tells me that in the early '90's
he took the skin of one from a poacher.

Wolverine (_Gulo luscus_)
Of general distribution, but not common.

Northern Skunk (_Mephitis hudsonica_)
Rare, but found at Mammoth Hot Springs and Yancey's.

Badger (_Taxidea taxus_)
Common.

Raccoon or Coon (_Procyon lotor_)
Said to occur. Fifteen years ago at Gardiner I was shown one
that was said to have been taken in the Park, but it was not
certain.

Grizzly Bear (_Ursus horribilis_)
Common. The official count gives 50 in 1912.

Blackbear (_Ursus americanus_)
Abundant and increasing. The official count gives 100 in
1912.
