Records of mammals in the Bukryn Peninsula (Middle Dnipro) in 2018–2024

The Bukryn Peninsula is the best-preserved area of the Middle Dnipro forest-steppe, which has been little affected by anthropogenic impact, thus preserving specimens of flora and fauna that are not very common in Ukraine. The data are summarised on the basis of long-term observations without the use of trapping methods or other forms of survey. A total of 32 mammalian genera-species were found, including 4 from the group of bats and insectivorans, 5 genera-species of non-muroid rodents and leporids, 9 muroid rodents (there are probably much more species), 7 mustelids, 4 felids and canids, and 3 ungulates. The fauna is characterised by a small share of alien species, of which there are five (Norway rat, house mouse, muskrat, American mink, raccoon dog).
