List of mammals of Croatia

This list shows the IUCN Red List status of mammal species occurring in Croatia. Seven of them are vulnerable and four are near threatened. The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed on the respective IUCN Red List published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature:

Order: [[Rodent]]ia (rodents)
Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. Most rodents are small though the capybara can weigh up to . • Family: Castoridae (beavers) • Genus: CastorEurasian beaver, C. fiber • Family: Echimyidae • Genus: MyocastorNutria, M. coypus introduced • Subfamily: Xerinae • Tribe: Marmotini • Genus: MarmotaAlpine marmot, M. marmota • Genus: SpermophilusEuropean ground squirrel, S. citellus extirpated • Family: Gliridae (dormice) • Subfamily: Leithiinae • Genus: DryomysForest dormouse, Dryomys nitedula NT • Genus: EliomysGarden dormouse, E. quercinus • Genus: MuscardinusHazel dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius LC • Subfamily: Glirinae • Genus: GlisEuropean edible dormouse, G. glis LC • Family: Cricetidae • Subfamily: Arvicolinae • Genus: ArvicolaEuropean water vole, A. amphibius • Genus: ChionomysSnow vole, Chionomys nivalis NT • Genus: ClethrionomysBank vole, Clethrionomys glareolus LC • Genus: CricetusEuropean hamster, C. cricetus presence uncertain • Genus: DinaromysBalkan snow vole, Dinaromys bogdanovi NT • Genus: MicrotusField vole, Microtus agrestis LC • Common vole, Microtus arvalis LC • European pine vole, Microtus subterraneus LC • Family: Muridae (mice, rats, voles, gerbils, hamsters, etc.) • Subfamily: Murinae • Genus: ApodemusStriped field mouse, Apodemus agrarius LC • Yellow-necked mouse, Apodemus flavicollis LC • Broad-toothed field mouse, Apodemus mystacinus LC • Wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus LC • Ural field mouse, Apodemus uralensis LC • Genus: MicromysEurasian harvest mouse, Micromys minutus LC • Genus: MusSteppe mouse, Mus spicilegus LC ==Order: Lagomorpha (lagomorphs)==
Order: [[Lagomorpha]] (lagomorphs)
The lagomorphs comprise two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas). Though they can resemble rodents, and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such as having four incisors in the upper jaw rather than two. • Family: Leporidae (rabbits, hares) • Genus: LepusEuropean hare, L. europaeus • Genus: OryctolagusEuropean rabbit, O. cuniculus introduced ==Order: Erinaceomorpha (hedgehogs and gymnures)==
Order: [[Erinaceomorpha]] (hedgehogs and gymnures)
The order Erinaceomorpha contains a single family, Erinaceidae, which comprise the hedgehogs and gymnures. The hedgehogs are easily recognised by their spines while gymnures look more like large rats. • Family: Erinaceidae (hedgehogs) • Subfamily: Erinaceinae • Genus: ErinaceusWest European hedgehog, E. europaeus ==Order: Soricomorpha (shrews, moles, and solenodons)==
Order: [[Soricomorpha]] (shrews, moles, and solenodons)
The "shrew-forms" are insectivorous mammals. The shrews and solenodons closely resemble mice while the moles are stout-bodied burrowers. • Family: Soricidae (shrews) • Subfamily: Crocidurinae • Genus: CrociduraBicolored shrew, C. leucodonLesser white-toothed shrew, C. suaveolens • Subfamily: Soricinae • Tribe: Nectogalini • Genus: NeomysSouthern water shrew, N. anomalusEurasian water shrew, N. fodiens • Tribe: Soricini • Genus: SorexAlpine shrew, S. alpinusCommon shrew, S. araneus ==Order: Chiroptera (bats)==
Order: [[Chiroptera]] (bats)
The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of flight. Bat species account for about 20% of all mammals. • Family: Vespertilionidae • Subfamily: Myotinae • Genus: MyotisBechstein's bat, M. bechsteiniLong-fingered bat, M. capacciniiGeoffroy's bat, M. emarginatus • Subfamily: Vespertilioninae • Genus: BarbastellaWestern barbastelle, B. barbastellus • Genus: NyctalusGreater noctule bat, Nyctalus lasiopterusLesser noctule, Nyctalus leisleri • Subfamily: Miniopterinae • Genus: MiniopterusCommon bent-wing bat, M. schreibersii • Family: Rhinolophidae • Subfamily: Rhinolophinae • Genus: RhinolophusMediterranean horseshoe bat, R. euryaleGreater horseshoe bat, R. ferrumequinumLesser horseshoe bat, R. hipposiderosMehely's horseshoe bat, R. mehelyi ==Order: Cetacea (whales)==
Order: [[Cetacea]] (whales)
The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater. • Suborder: Mysticeti • Family: Balaenopteridae • Genus: Balaenoptera (rorquals) • Common minke whale, B. acutorostrataFin whale, B. physalus • Subfamily: Megapterinae • Genus: MegapteraHumpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae LC • Suborder: Odontoceti • Family: Physeteridae (sperm whales) • Genus: PhyseterSperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus VU • Superfamily: Platanistoidea • Family: Delphinidae (marine dolphins) • Genus: TursiopsCommon bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus DD • Genus: StenellaStriped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba LR/cd • Genus: DelphinusShort-beaked common dolphin, Delphinus delphis LR/lc • Genus: GrampusRisso's dolphin, Grampus griseus DD ==Order: Carnivora (carnivorans)==
Order: [[Carnivora]] (carnivorans)
(Canis aureus moreotica), a subspecies of golden jackal There are over 260 species of carnivorans, the majority of which eat meat as their primary dietary item. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition. • Suborder: Feliformia • Family: Felidae (cats) • Subfamily: Felinae • Genus: FelisEuropean wildcat, F. silvestris • Genus: LynxEurasian lynx, L. lynx • Family: Herpestidae • Genus: UrvaSmall Indian mongoose, U. auropunctata introduced • Suborder: Caniformia • Family: Canidae (dogs, foxes) • Genus: CanisGolden jackal, C. aureusGray wolf, C. lupus • Genus: NyctereutesRaccoon dog, N. procyonoides introduced • Genus: VulpesRed fox, V. vulpes • Genus: ProcyonRaccoon, P. lotor • Family: Mustelidae (mustelids) • Genus: LutraEuropean otter, L. lutra • Genus: MartesBeech marten, M. foinaEuropean pine marten, M. martes • Genus: MustelaStoat, M. ermineaEuropean mink, M. lutreola extirpated • Least weasel, M. nivalisEuropean polecat, M. putorius • Family: Phocidae (earless seals) • Genus: MonachusMediterranean monk seal, M. monachus ==Order: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates)==
Order: [[Artiodactyla]] (even-toed ungulates)
The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. There are about 220 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans. • Family: Cervidae (deer) • Subfamily: Capreolinae • Genus: CapreolusRoe deer, C. capreolus • Subfamily: Cervinae • Genus: AxisChital, A. axis introduced • Genus: CervusRed deer, C. elaphus • Genus: DamaEuropean fallow deer, D. dama • Family: Bovidae • Subfamily: Caprinae • Genus: RupicapraNorthern chamois, R. rupicapra ==See also==
