Animals in Pakistan

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

They belong to 12 families, the best represented being Cricetidae (7), Bovidae (5), Felidae (4). By Red List category: 1 Endangered, 3 Vulnerable, 5 Near Threatened, 19 Least Concern, 2 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 Pakistan is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 30 of them have a full written profile.
