Animals in Mongolia

33 mammal species are recorded in Mongolia in this dataset, 4 of them in a threatened Red List category. Mongolia 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 Mongolia.

They belong to 12 families, the best represented being Cricetidae (11), Dipodidae (4), Cervidae (3). By Red List category: 2 Endangered, 2 Vulnerable, 3 Near Threatened, 25 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 Mongolia is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 33 of them have a full written profile.
