Talk:List of mammals of peninsular Spain

Untitled
A spanish opinion:

I think we should add Lepus granatensis (endemic), Mus musculus (african), Rattus rattus (asiatic), Rattus norvegicus (asiatic), Pipistrellus pygmaeus (endemic) and Dama dama (eastern mediterranean).

And also recent guests: Atlantoxerus getulus (african in Canary Islands), Marmota marmota (reintroduced in Pyrenees usin alpin individuals), Neovison vison (north american), Myocastor coypus (south american), Ovis musimon (from Corsica) and Ammotragus lervia (north african).

And we should remove Lynx lynx: this species doesn't exist in Spain nor Portugal.

Right: thank you for the list, anyway. It's useful for me just the same.

Sorry for my horrible english.

Well, actualizing this took a lot more effort than expected. Put a lot of absent species that are cited in Purroy and Varela's guide to Spanish mammals (which does not include Ceuta and Melilla) and the "Atlas and Red Book" of mammals published by the Spanish government (which does not include marine mammals). Sadly, the information on rodents and bats of this is not accesible through the web version, and I'm sure there should be a couple species more of these that are present in Ceuta and Melilla. It wouldbe great if someone else who has the paper edition can add them. If not, I myself will in a few weeks. I also added some more notes and sources and changed the images. The editor above was right, it makes little sense to picture the Eurasian lynx in an article about Spanish mammals when this species is no longer present in Spain and there is the more iconic Iberian lynx as another option. I left, however, the Eurasian lynx on the list owing to the fact that the species was present in the Pyrenees until the early to mid 20th century (and possibly in the Cantabrian Mountains before). First line is probably no longer accurate.--Menah the Great (talk) 17:49, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

The thumbnail of beavers actually shows the American species (based on the caption of the media item itself) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nayeryouakim (talk • contribs) 18:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
