• ma®als observed and a list of potential species along with habitat. <br />types are presented in Table 17, Species of Mammals that Occur or <br />are Likely to Occur on Energy Mine No. 3 Study Area. <br />Medium-Sized Meals <br />Many species of medium sized mauls were confirmed during the <br />investigations on the study area either through direct observation <br />or definitive sign. These species include predators such as Canis <br />latrans (coyote), Vu Pes vulpes (red foa), Taaidea taaus (badger), <br />and Muatela freoata (long-tailed weasel). Other species confirmed <br />through observation or definitive sign included Marmots flaviventris <br />(yellow-bellied marmot), Spermophilua richardaonii (Bichardeon's <br />ground squirrel), Lepua townsendii (white-tailed jackrabbit), and <br />• Castor canadensis (beaver). Preferred habitats of these species are <br />listed is Table 17, Species of Mammals that Occur or are Likely to <br />Occur on Energy Mine No. 3 Study Area. The only medium sized mammal <br />listed by QSDI-FWS-OBE (1978) as important to the area is beaver, <br />Old beaver sign, including cuttings and dams, were seen along the <br />Connell ditch (which was dry at the time) in the NE's of Section 24 <br />TEN, 88641 during on-site surveys by CYCC wildlife biologists. <br />However, moat of the aquatic habitat within the proposed permit area <br />was not adjacent to aspen or other food sources aeceasary for <br />beaver, making the area an unlikely habitat for beaver. <br />Large Mammals <br />• Elk, Aerial flights on April 2 and May 30, 1980 revealed no <br />elk on the proposed permit area. However, on the April <br />2.04-94 <br />
