Species profiles for Georgian mammals, starting with documented checklist taxa — not a complete national mammal list.
Catalog
Each profile states whether the species is resident in Georgia — and what remains unmapped.

Mammal profiles are added using the same evidence rules as the herpetofauna atlas: named sources, no invented regional maps.
Country occurrence here rests on national mammal lists, IUCN, and hunting documents. This hub is not a substitute for a full list of 100+ species.
FAQ
Short answers - detailed information is on profiles.
No. This hub publishes individual species pages as they are written. National mammal checklists remain the reference for the full fauna.
The atlas currently has 17 profiles: red fox, golden jackal, grey wolf, brown bear, European roe deer, red deer, wild goat, East Caucasian tur, least weasel, Eurasian otter, Caucasian badger, Eurasian lynx, Caucasian leopard, Caucasian squirrel, southern white-breasted hedgehog, wild boar, and raccoon. The leopard is a rare vagrant, not a resident density. The raccoon is introduced.
Mammal pages use the same species-profile structure. They are part of the animal atlas of Georgia, not a complete national mammal list.
Only when a profile has named regional records — for example the brown bear, golden jackal, wild goat, least weasel, and raccoon pages. Other profiles, including wild boar, do not colour the administrative map: country occurrence is confirmed, a municipality list is not compiled here.
No. Watch from a distance. A bite or saliva can carry rabies risk. A jackal in the yard follows food — do not feed it; see jackal in the yard. Do not approach a bear; see bear encounters. Do not pick up wild animals.
Other categories
