We’ve seen a surprising number of the mammals that live in Texas on our ranch! And, by the way, we also have cattle, horses, a donkey, dogs, and chickens. The list below are the non-domesticated ones, and this is not all of them.
These are the mammals uploaded into iNaturalist as of July 2024. I can’t believe I haven’t uploaded any of my many white-tailed deer observations. I will eventually.
- Cryptotis parvus North American Least Shrew
- Dasypus novemcinctus Nine-banded Armadillo
- Didelphis virginiana Virginia Opossum
- Lepus californicus Black-tailed Jackrabbit
- Mephitis mephitis Striped Skunk
- Mus musculus House Mouse
- Peromyscus North American Deer Mice
- Procyon lotor Common Raccoon
- Sciurus niger Eastern Fox Squirrel
- Sylvilagus floridanus Eastern Cottontail
Here are other animals we’ve seen but not gotten good enough photos of to upload into iNaturalist.
