This site has lots of information on the ecology of Kelleys Island. The island has a large number of bird species and a relatively small number of mammal species. While the bird species number over 240, there are only 6 species of mammal documented on the island. This would be expected though as the island is rather small and wouldn't be able to support an ecosystem that includes large mammals. Weasels, skunks, dogs, wolves, foxes, other small rodents and the occational deer occupy the island. The island is also home to the endanger Lake Erie Water Snake.
