The mammal fauna and birds on and around the Tsuru University campus in central Japan was investigated using camera traps. The purpose was to understand the habitats of mammals and to compare the results to the authors’ previous investigation in the same area from 2009 to 2011. A total of seven automatic cameras were set up at two points on the Tsuru campus and at five points at Mt. Ozaki from November 2011 to April 2016. A total of 5,789 days were spent for photography. Pictures of 17 species of mammals and 19 species of birds, aside from bats and crows, were obtained. Five new species, Japanese Dormouse, Japanese Serow, Asiatic Black Bear, Raccoon, and Japanese Macaque, were recorded. The results of this investigation suggest that the sika deer population has increased and that the domestic cat distribution at Mt. Ozaki has expanded.
