List of mammals of New Hampshire


The list of mammals of New Hampshire includes all mammal species living in the US state of New Hampshire. Four species of mammals are currently extirpated from the state: gray wolf,[1] cougar,[2] wolverine,[3] and caribou.[4] The list does not include species found only in captivity.

While New Hampshire does not have a state mammal, it does have a state animal (the white-tailed deer)[5] and a state wildcat (the bobcat).[6]
