List of mammals of South Korea

There are eighty-five mammal species in South Korea, of which six are endangered, six are vulnerable, and two are near threatened.

They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing.

Shrews and solenodons closely resemble mice, while moles are stout-bodied burrowers.

The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of flight.

They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater.
