 <!-- 2. What mammals in your locality are protected by law? Why? -->
-Most mammals are protected by law in the form of hunting seasons and licenses.  It is illegal to kill most medium-to-large mammals in most parts of the United States without a license, and these licenses are only good during certain seasons.  Mammals which are considered pests or vermin, such as rats, mice, and groundhogs, are not protected in this way.  They can be exterminated at any time.  But deer, squirrels, opossums, beaver, muskrat, weasels, mink, fishercats, bobcats, mountain lions, and wolves either have a designated season, during which a licensed hunter may kill them, or they enjoy a total ban on hunting.

-The purpose of these laws is to stabilize the population.  Generally, hunting seasons are in the autumn, and this is to allow the mammals to reproduce in the spring and summer, but be culled out before winter sets in.  In many cases, hunting is the only predation a mammal knows, and without a hunting season, the population would explode.  Large populations of deer, for instance, cannot survive the winter, as the available food resources are limited.  Without a hunting season, many would starve.

-In other cases, mammals are protected because they have been listed as endangered.  This usually means that in our unenlightened past, man hunted them to the brink of extinction, or has eliminated so much of the animal's habitat, that it cannot survive without legal protection.

-Many wild mammals are very easy to spot in North America, such as deer, squirrels, mice, rabbits, and raccoons.  Others are more elusive, such as beavers, muskrats, members of the weasel family, wolves, skunks, porcupines, and bears.  However, with persistence, you should be able to spot 15 species.
