List of mammals of Saskatchewan

October 27, 2023

This is an incomplete list of mammals of Saskatchewan, those mammals native to or occasionally found in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada.

Having a temperate climate and a range of biomes, from prairie and grassland in the south, aspen parkland in the centre, and boreal forest in the north, as well as regional exceptions like the Great Sand Hills and Cypress Hills makes Saskatchewan home to a wide variety of mammal species. Its central location in the Prairie Provinces makes it a convergence point for the ranges of many species found in the east and west, as well, with its proximity to Montana and North Dakota, Saskatchewan serves as a northern range for several predominantly American species. While there are also many species endemic to Saskatchewan itself. There are seventy-two species of wild mammals presently found in the province, out of approximately 4,400 known in the world.[1]

Saskatchewan recognizes one species as its official mammal, the white-tail deer. Provincial law protects numerous species. Those considered threatened species are denoted by (T) and those considered endangered species denoted by (E). Some species are believed to be extirpated from the province, denoted with (X). Several species have been introduced to Saskatchewan, and established permanent populations, denoted with (I).
