Animals in Bangladesh

22 mammal species are recorded in Bangladesh in this dataset, 11 of them in a threatened Red List category. Bangladesh sits in Asia, where 324 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Bangladesh.

They belong to 16 families, the best represented being Felidae (3), Muridae (3), Bovidae (2). By Red List category: 2 Critically Endangered, 4 Endangered, 5 Vulnerable, 1 Near Threatened, 10 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 Bangladesh is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 22 of them have a full written profile.
