What captive mammals that only find in North America?

You "just" want to know?

How about doing your own research?

Any animal that comes from N America and isn't in foreign collections would be an obvious answer....
 
@Evirapo, you can use websites like Zootierliste to answer that question. I’m sure there are numerous North American native species only found in North American collections. :)

To be fair, Zootierliste does not cover North America, and there are not many alternatives to quickly compile a list of species in the manner that the OP is looking for. I'd say this is a valid question.

I’m aware ZTL doesn’t include North American collections. I was just saying the OP could check ZTL to see if there are pronghorns (for example) in European collections. I don’t think there are very many zoos outside of Europe (and North America) that would have any North American species not held in European collections. ZTL is certainly a good place to start.

This is a pretty valid statement, any exceptions primarily being species shared with South America.
 
There are several species of native North American mammals that are found only on this continent - red wolf, black-footed ferret, and Vancouver island marmot come to mind.
