Abundant and increasing. The official count gives 100 in 1912.
Common or Masked Shrew (Sorex personatus)
Never taken, but included because its known range surrounds the Park.
Marsh Shrew or Water Shrew (Neosorex palustris)
Probably occurs there, since its known range surrounds the Park.
Long-eared Bat (Corynorhinus macrotis pallescens)
A few were seen in the Devil's Kitchen, Mammoth Hot Springs, and one sent to the Biological Survey for identification. This is the only Bat taken, but the following are likely to be found, as their known range surrounds the Park:
Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus)
Silver-haired Bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans)
Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus)
Great Hoary Bat (Nycteris cinereus)
Transcriber's Notes
