While New Hampshire does not have a state mammal, it does have a state animal (the white-tailed deer) [5] and a state wildcat (the bobcat). [6]

In New Hampshire, coyotes are the only fur-bearing animal for which there is an open hunting season. Coyote hunting season never ends in New Hampshire – and neither does the debate Skip to main ...
[14] [10] The 2012 study proposed that there are three true canis species in North America – the gray wolf, the western coyote, and red wolf/eastern wolf with the eastern wolf represented by the Algonquin wolf, with the Great Lakes wolf being a hydrid of the eastern wolf and the gray wolf, and the eastern coyote being a hybrid of the western ...

New Hampshire's major regions are the Great North Woods, the White Mountains, the Lakes Region, the Seacoast, the Merrimack Valley, the Monadnock Region, and the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area.
