Animals in Austria

9 mammal species are recorded in Austria in this dataset, 1 of them in a threatened Red List category. Austria sits in Europe, where 124 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Austria.

They belong to 6 families, the best represented being Muridae (3), Bovidae (2), Canidae (1). By Red List category: 1 Critically Endangered, 8 Least Concern.

These counts come from the text of each assessment rather than from an official country checklist, so a species whose assessment names a region without naming Austria is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 9 of them have a full written profile.
