We see a great diversity of mammals on the farm. They tend to be somewhat elusive but if you’re in the right place at the right time, you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse. From the common squirrels and bunnies, to the more shy Bobcats and Otters, the diversity of mammals on the farm covers a broad spectrum spectrum.
There are a few residents not on the list. Bats for example we see from time to time, but since I’m not sure of the species, I’ve left them off. Also, I would not be surprised to see a skunk or a fox at some point but we haven’t seen either on the farm yet.
