context_page_description: This is a list of North American mammals. It includes all mammals currently found in North America north of Mexico, whether resident or as migrants. There is a separate list of Mexican mammals. Mammal species which became extinct in the last 10,000 to 13,000 years are also included in this article. Each species is listed, with its binomial name. Most established introduced species occurring across multiple states and provinces are also noted.
  Some species are identified as indicated below:
  = Accidental: occurrence based on one or a few records, and unlikely to occur regularly
  = Extinct: died out between 13,000 years ago and the present
  = Extirpated: no longer occurs in area of interest, but other populations exist elsewhere
  (I) = Introduced: population established solely as result of direct or indirect human intervention; synonymous with non-native and non-indigenous
  Conservation status - IUCN Red List of Threatened Species:
  EX - extinct, EW - extinct in the wild
  CR - critically endangered, EN - endangered, VU - vulnerable
  NT - near threatened, LC - least concern
  DD - data deficient, NE - not evaluated
