Rose Lake Wildlife Research Area is located on the border of Shiawassee and Clinton counties, 12 mi northeast of Lansing. Mammals have been an object of study on the research area since its founding in 1938. Through the years, records have been collected on mammals frequenting the area. The amount of data gathered, as well as the methods used for collection, were not consistent from year to year. Therefore, the records are not complete enough to document population sizes or fluctuations. They do, however, provide knowledge of the mammal species present on the area and give an indication of their relative abundance. The purpose of this report is to document the presence and relative abundance of all species of mammals known or thought to be present on the Rose Lake Area from 1938 through 1980.
