Animals in Kyrgyzstan

6 mammal species are recorded in Kyrgyzstan in this dataset, 1 of them in a threatened Red List category. Kyrgyzstan 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 Kyrgyzstan.

They belong to 4 families, the best represented being Cricetidae (2), Felidae (2), Bovidae (1). By Red List category: 1 Vulnerable, 1 Near Threatened, 4 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 Kyrgyzstan is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 6 of them have a full written profile.
