List of mammal subspecies in Colorado

This is intended as a full list of mammals and their subspecies in the State of Colorado, in the United States. Multiple subspecies of a species may coexist in the same State due to multiple forms of environments existing within the same human boundary. Some of these subspecies may cross populations and easily find each other, some don't. This can be due to both environmental and human habitational reasons (i.e desert blocking the way or a large highway). Additionally an animal's cultural or biological habits may prevent them from crossing over into the other population's "territory". Some of those that do interact may be hybrids between the two subspecies. Additionally reintroductions of animals may bring in subspecies that I'm unaware of. The information isn't always public. Some species migrate through the State.

Leporidae:
* Brachylagus idahodensis - (subspecies unknown, possibly idahodensis as a noticeable subspecies has documentation and common name, but no common name given. Even in my old source from 1951 the differentiation is noted but no subspecies given.
* Lepus americanus - Likely pineus as it resides in Wyoming. Additionally, bairdii.https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/32426/pg32426-images.html#Page_173
* Lepus californicus - Unsure, as multiple subspecies are listed in the same areas of Mexico. Lots of photographic evidence for L. californicus in Colorado, but no websites that list their subspecies locations list any subspecies as living in Colorado. Old sources list melanotis and texianus.https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/32426/pg32426-images.html#Page_183
* Lepus townsendii - townsendii and campanius.https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/32426/pg32426-images.html#Page_180
