Forest Carnivore Inventory for Mount Rainier National Park tabular data

Metadata Updated: November 25, 2025

Inventory of forest carnivore species tabular data for Mount Rainier National Park, 2000-2002. As part of the NPS Servicewide Vertebrate and Vascular Plant Inventory, we used remotely-triggered cameras to inventory forest carnivores in Mount Rainier National Park during the winters of 2000-2001 and 2001-2002. Using standardized protocols, we sampled 20 4-mi2 blocks: 11 blocks in 2000-2001 and 9 blocks in 2001-2002. We obtained 1313 photographs of 13 mammal and 5 bird species. We identified 7 species of forest carnivores: American marten, spotted skunk, coyote, short-tailed weasel, bobcat, black bear, and red fox. We recorded two additional species (Virginia opossum and cougar) in preliminary test efforts that were not detected during protocol surveys. American marten were the most common species recorded, found in 70% of the sample blocks and representing 52.6% of the total animal photos collected. Neither lynx nor fisher was recorded.
