Animals in Turkmenistan
9 mammal species are recorded in Turkmenistan in this dataset, none of them currently in a threatened Red List category. Turkmenistan 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 Turkmenistan.
They belong to 6 families, the best represented being Dipodidae (4), Bovidae (1), Calomyscidae (1). By Red List category: 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 Turkmenistan is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 9 of them have a full written profile.
