Scientists in Katmai have documented 42 species of mammals from the coast to the tundra. Brown bears and moose live throughout the coastal and lake regions of Katmai National Park and Preserve. Other mammals include caribou, red fox, wolf, lynx, wolverine, river otter, mink, marten, weasel, porcupine, snowshoe hare, red squirrel, and beaver. Along the coast are sea lions, sea otters, harbor seals, porpoise. Beluga whales, orcas, and gray whales sometimes use the Shelikof Strait just beyond Katmai's boundaries.
