 Mammals large and small can be seen here on the peninsula. Most are native, though a few have been introduced over the years including, the famous Assateague ponies, Sika deer and nutria. 
State and national parks or wildlife preserves probably serve as the best places to observe many of these. This list has been provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. |
