Animals in Cyprus
3 mammal species are recorded in Cyprus in this dataset, 1 of them in a threatened Red List category. Cyprus 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 Cyprus.
They belong to 2 families, the best represented being Muridae (2), Phocidae (1). By Red List category: 1 Vulnerable, 1 Least Concern, 1 Data Deficient.
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 Cyprus is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 3 of them have a full written profile.
