Animals in Poland

13 mammal species are recorded in Poland in this dataset, 1 of them in a threatened Red List category. Poland sits in Europe, where 124 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Poland.

They belong to 9 families, the best represented being Muridae (3), Bovidae (2), Canidae (2). By Red List category: 1 Critically Endangered, 2 Near Threatened, 10 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 Poland is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 13 of them have a full written profile.
