List of mammals of Syria
This list of mammals of Syria is derived from IUCN Red Lists. The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status:
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. |
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. |
Order: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates)
[edit]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.

[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Long_Eared_hedgehog.jpg/220px-Long_Eared_hedgehog.jpg)
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)

Order: Hyracoidea (hyraxes)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Dassie3.jpg/220px-Dassie3.jpg)
The hyraxes are four species of fairly small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. About the size of a domestic cat, they are well-furred, with rounded bodies and a stumpy tail. They are native to Africa and the Middle East.
- Family: Procaviidae (hyraxes)
- Genus: Procavia

- Genus: Procavia
Order: Lagomorpha (lagomorphs)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Running_hare.jpg/220px-Running_hare.jpg)
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: Lepus
- Cape hare, L. capensis LC[34]
- European hare, L. europaeus LC[35]
- Genus: Lepus
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Golden_hamster_front_1.jpg/220px-Golden_hamster_front_1.jpg)
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 45 kg (99 lb).
