The abundant and diverse vegetation of the park
constitutes a large block of relatively undisturbed habitat that supports
various populations of native wildlife species. The park has significant
populations of Roosevelt elk, black tail deer, pronghorn, coyote, and porcupine.
Periodic sightings of black bear, pine marten, weasel, and mountain lion are
reported in the summer months. A variety of other small animal species are seen
in the backcountry of the Park. [Crater Lake National Park
