ABSTRACT
Abstract
There are 85 mammalian species reported recently from the territory of the Czech Republic. Ten species disappeared from the territory in various historical periods, and seven of them have been reintroduced or reappeared again. No species can be considered endemic, but populations of several species are isolated inside the region concerned. At least fourteen allochthonous species were introduced. Currently, 30 species are protected by law and considered endangered.
