The National Park Service is undertaking a new era of scientifically based management. An essential component of this strategy is an inventory of the natural resources. Significant deficiencies exist in the informational base regarding the mammalian species of Vicksburg National Military Park. Therefore, the objective of this project was to document occurrence, distribution and relative abundance of all mammal species located within the park. An intensive, year-long study of small, meso, and large mammal species, including bats, was conducted. Mammals were documented with photographs, collections, or by sign through various capture and monitoring techniques. Mammals documented include sixteen species of small mammals from Orders Insectivora and Rodentia, fourteen species of meso and large mammals from Orders Didelphimorphia, Lagomorpha, Artiodactyla, Xenarthra, and Carnivora and seven species of bats from Order Chiroptera.
