List of mammals of Denmark
None
None
This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Denmark , listing only species found outside captivity and fenced enclosures, or with certain records younger than 1000 A.D. The main source is the most recent atlas survey of mammals in Denmark. [1] The atlas records 88 mammal species in Denmark . Since the atlas was published in 2007, three new species have been recorded in the country: the grey wolf, [2] golden jackal [3] and Cuvier's beaked whale. [4]
The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status in the most current version of the Danish Red List. [3] Assessments were made following recommendations of the International Union for Conservation of Nature .
EX | Extinct | No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died. |
EW | Extinct in the wild | Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range. |
RE | Regionally extinct | No reasonable doubt that the species no longer exist in the assessed region and is extirpated . |
CR | Critically endangered | The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild. |
EN | Endangered | The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. |
VU | Vulnerable | The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. |
NT | Near threatened | The 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 concern | There are no current identifiable risks to the species. |
DD | Data deficient | There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species. |
NA | Not assessed | Not assessed, either because it is an invading/naturalised species, or extremely rare visitor |
