Animals in Tajikistan
10 mammal species are recorded in Tajikistan in this dataset, 1 of them in a threatened Red List category. Tajikistan 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 Tajikistan.
They belong to 5 families, the best represented being Cricetidae (4), Bovidae (2), Felidae (2). By Red List category: 1 Vulnerable, 2 Near Threatened, 7 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 Tajikistan is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 10 of them have a full written profile.
