Animals in Lebanon
5 mammal species are recorded in Lebanon in this dataset, none of them currently in a threatened Red List category. Lebanon 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 Lebanon.
They belong to 3 families, the best represented being Muridae (3), Cricetidae (1), Procaviidae (1). By Red List category: 5 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 Lebanon is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 5 of them have a full written profile.
