Every year the Field Study Group of the Dutch Mammal Society organizes a summer  Mammal study camp. This document presents the work of the Field study Group of the Dutch Mammal Society  during the annual Summer Mammal Study Camp in Montenegro, 2014.  The 2014 annual Summer Mammal Study Camp was held from July 29 to August 8 in  Biogradska Gora National Park in Montenegro. The park, that includes parts of Bjelasica  mountain, lies in the central part of the country between the Tara and Lim rivers.  The park occupies an area of 5650 ha, preserving ancient beech forest ‐ one of very few  “primeval forests” in Europe, mountainous slopes and peaks up to 2000 masl, streams and  glacial lakes, a high‐mountainous zone with the characteristic alpine flora and fauna, wet  meadows in a rocky surrounding, as well as small‐scale agriculture in the valleys. The  diversity of habitats maintains a great species richness.  The mammal fauna is represented by roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), wild boar (Sus scrofa),  the introduced red deer (Cervus elaphus), the otter (Lutra lutra), many species of bats,  insectivores and rodents.  There are 38 species of mammals confirmed for the National Park Biogradska Gora.
