Animals in Spain

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

They belong to 8 families, the best represented being Bovidae (3), Leporidae (2), Canidae (1). By Red List category: 2 Endangered, 2 Vulnerable, 2 Near Threatened, 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 Spain is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 11 of them have a full written profile.
