List of mammals of Andorra

This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Andorra. There are seventy-nine mammal species in Andorra. This list is derived from the IUCN Red List which lists species of mammals and includes those mammals that have recently been classified as extinct (since 1500 AD).

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: 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. Family: Leporidae Genus: Lepus European hare, L. europaeus Genus: Oryctolagus European rabbit, O. cuniculus

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 perissodactyl.

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.
