List of mammals of Korea

The Harvest Mouse remains abundant throughout the Korean Peninsula.

This is a list of mammals found in the wild on the Korean Peninsula. Approximately 100 species of mammals are known to inhabit, or recently to have inhabited, the peninsula and its surrounding waters. This includes a few species, such as the Nutria and Muskrat, that were introduced in the 20th century. It also includes other species listed here, such as the Amur Tiger and Japanese Sea Lion, which have probably been extirpated but are still included in standard lists of Korean mammals.

Most of these species are found only in a small part of Korea. The large southeastern island of Jeju, and the rugged northeastern Paektusan region, are particularly known for their distinctive fauna. Several species, including the Dsinezumi Shrew, are found only on Jeju, while many other species such as the Wild Boar are absent or extirpated from there.

The species included in this list are drawn from Won and Smith (1999). Information on the international status of species has been drawn from the IUCN Red List.
