List of mammals of New Brunswick

Last updated

New Brunswick is a Maritime province of Canada, bordered by Quebec to the north, Nova Scotia to the east, the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the northeast, the Bay of Fundy to the southeast, and the US state of Maine to the west. [1] Lying within the Appalachian Mountain range [2] , the province is largely covered by temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, with the northern part of the province also containing boreal forest. [3] The coastlines of the province contain a large marine environment. [4] These different ecosystems contribute to the diversity of birds in the province. This is a list of all mammalian species from New Brunswick.
