List of mammals of Andorra explained

This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Andorra. There are seventy-nine mammal species in Andorra, of which three are vulnerable, ten are near threatened, and two are endangered.[1]

The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature:

EX ExtinctNo reasonable doubt that the last individual has died.
EW Extinct in the wildKnown only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range.
CR Critically endangeredThe species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild.
EN EndangeredThe species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
VU VulnerableThe species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
NT Near threatenedThe species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future.
LC Least concernThere are no current identifiable risks to the species.
DD Data deficientThere is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species.

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 360 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans. This group also includes cetaceans.

Order: Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates)

The odd-toed ungulates are browsing and grazing mammals. They are usually large to very large, and have relatively simple stomachs and a large middle toe. There are only around 20 species of perrissodactyl.

Order: Carnivora (carnivorans)

There are over 310 species of carnivorans, the majority of which feed primarily on meat. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition.

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, with almost 1,500 species described.

Order: Lagomorpha (hares, rabbits, & pikas)

Moderately small herbivores related to rodents, but with long ears, large hindlegs, and four incisors rather than two on the top jaw. They move primarily hopping and bounding. There are over 100 species of lagomorph.

Order: Rodentia (rodents)

Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40 percent of mammalian species, with almost 2,700 currently described species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing.

Order: Eulipotyphla (shrews, moles, and solenodons)

These are insectivorous mammals. The shrews and solenodons closely resemble mice while the moles are stout-bodied burrowers. There are almost 600 species of eulipotyphlans.
