Abstract

This paper presents the terrestrial mammals occurring (past & present) or expected to occur in the United Arab Emirates. The terrestrial mammal fauna of the UAE consist of at least 10 species of rodents, 8 species of bats, 2 species of hedgehog, 1 shrew, 1 hyrax (albeit introduced into the wild), 1 hare, 7 species of ungulates and 12 carnivores. At least 3 rodent, 6 bats, 1 hedgehog, 1 shrew, 1 ungulate and 3 carnivores could possibly have occurred or are expected to occur in the UAE although no tangible evidence yet exists thereof. The status and references for the various mammals are also included to assist further mammalian research in the UAE.
