List of mammals in Austria
The list of mammals in Austria contains the species of mammals occurring in Austria based on the list of mammals in Europe . Here, too, the neozoa introduced after 1492 are marked as such. Pet forms and humans are not taken into account. The taxonomy and distribution mainly follow Grimmberger et al. (2009). The order of the genera and species follows Aulagnier and co-workers (2009). The explicit distribution in Austria was investigated for each animal.
