| description | Anzali Wetland as a listed habitat in Montreux Record, was investigated for the mammal fauna during Jan. 2015
- Jan. 2016. About 165 km of water bodies and 200 km around Anzali Wetland were patrolled, respectively. By
applying different methods, such as direct observation, different signs recording, using different sampling traps,
nets and camera traps, twenty mammal species were identified from 5 orders and 13 families. While Wild boar,
Golden Jackal and Common otter were widely distributed, Common badger, Asiatic wildcat and Jungle cat were
observed in some parts of this wetland. Six rodent species were recognized in different parts of the wetland.
Among four identified bat species, Nathusius’s pipistrelle has been reported only from this region in Iran. The
most commonly recorded bat species was the Soprano pipistrelle, a species hereto recorded only from two Iranian
localities. Two recognized species from order Eulipotyphla; Caspian shrew and a mysterious mole are important
due to their narrow geographical distribution range as well as their taxonomic situation. Although there was no
quantitative or qualitative data from the past, our results show that the situation of many mammal species are not
suitable, and some of them are being increasingly threatened. |
