Notes
Park Species Detail: Clay Kyte (FOBU Biotech), Aug 2005: Beaver population appears to have declined to zero (0) during the recent drought (~2000-2004) when springs ceased producing enough water to sustain the pond system. From 1993 through 2002 beaver could be observed on a daily basis in 3 different geographic areas of the monument where there were established ponds., Park Species Data Source: NCPN master mammal list (Bogan 2000), Bibkey #141330
