Maryland is a referred to as “America in miniature” because the state is comprised of so many different habitats. It has sand dunes and sea grass, marshlands with cypress trees, oak-covered hills, and pine forests in the mountainous regions. Oddly enough, though it is certainly diverse, there are no natural lakes in Maryland. The state has plenty of ponds, but glacier activity in the United States did not extend down as far as Maryland, thus no large craters were carved out of the landscape. There are now numerous man-made lakes and reservoirs.
Maryland has a variety of animals, and not all of them are native to the state. Wild horses, for example, are living on the islands off the coast of the state, but the equine species was not native to the country. The horses are the offspring of Spanish stock brought over by explorers. The animals are allowed to live on the islands because of their historical importance.
Another non-native creature is the sika deer. This is another species that was introduced originally on the islands off the coast. The sika deer is much lighter in frame and body than the indigenous white-tailed deer. The largest grazer in Maryland is the American elk, a species that is native to the region.
There are no grazers larger than the elk and wild horses. There are, however, the same large predators found in many of the other states. Maryland has black bears, coyotes, cougars, and wolves. Though the populations of these large creatures are minimal, the more humans continue to populate Maryland, the more frequent encounters will be.
Maryland has a host of other animals including fishers, a weasel-like animal that lives in forested areas. Along the same lines are river otter, mink, and ermine.
Common animals include raccoons, striped skunks, foxes, nutria, squirrels, porcupines, opossums, woodchucks, voles, moles, mice, and rats.
Maryland is also a coastal state, and it has a variety of marine life. Sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales, and manatees can all be seen right off the coast. Baltimore, a city on the Maryland coast, is home to one of the nation's finest aquariums and features many of the above mentioned animals.

Maryland Wildlife Invading Homes: A Growing Concern

Maryland's landscape and climate make it an ideal habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Unfortunately, this can also lead to problems for homeowners as animals seek shelter and food in residential areas.

As the human population continues to expand, encounters with wildlife are becoming increasingly common across the United States. One of the most frustrating and sometimes dangerous issues for homeowners is when animals find their way inside.

One of the most common culprits is the raccoon. These intelligent and adaptable creatures are skilled at finding ways into homes through small openings in roofs, chimneys, or vents. Once inside, they can cause damage to insulation, wiring, and furniture.

The specific types of wildlife that may invade homes vary depending on the region, but some common culprits in Maryland include:
  • Opossums: These nocturnal marsupials can squeeze through surprisingly small holes.
  • Squirrels: Both ground squirrels and tree squirrels can cause damage to homes and gardens.
  • Bats: Bats may enter through small gaps in the roof or walls, potentially carrying diseases.
  • Rodents: Rats and mice can squeeze through tiny openings and contaminate food.

To prevent wildlife from entering your home, consider the following:
  • Seal up entry points: Inspect your home for any gaps or cracks in the exterior and seal them with caulk or metal flashing.
  • Install screens: Use screens on windows and vents to deter flying animals.
  • Remove attractants: Keep garbage, pet food, and bird feeders away from your home to avoid attracting wildlife.

If you have a wildlife infestation, it's important to contact a professional wildlife removal service. They have the experience and equipment to safely and humanely remove animals from your home and prevent future infestations.
By taking these steps, you can help protect your home and property from wildlife damage while also ensuring the safety of both humans and animals
