Mammals of the Indiana Dunes, Mammal habitat at Indiana Dunes National Park, United States.
The park documents 37 mammal species including eastern cottontails, eastern fox squirrels, white-footed mice, white-tailed deer, and meadow voles across diverse landscapes.
Several species including gray wolves, black bears, mountain lions, and American bison no longer inhabit the area since the early settlement period.
The American badger, protected on Indiana state lists, represents a significant element of regional conservation efforts within the national park system.
Visitors can observe mammals throughout different park zones, from beach areas with animal tracks to oak savannas containing white-footed mice.
River otters returned to the park in 2011 after a long absence, followed by bobcats in 2018, marking successful species recovery.
