Below you can find a complete list of Eurasian animals. We currently track 392 animals in Eurasia and are adding more every day!
With an approximate land area of 21,000,000 square miles, Eurasia is by far the largest content in the world. Because of this, it’s no surprise that there are so many unique and wonderful animal species that live here. Whether you’re looking for birds, mammals, or thrilling apex predators, you’ll find almost every kind of species somewhere on the Eurasian continent.
The Official National (state) Animal of Eurasia
Although there is no governing body to declare an official national animal for the entire continent of Eurasia, most residents will agree that the most iconic animal in the region is the Eurasian lynx. This majestic creature can be found everywhere from the mountains of Scandinavia to the furthest point of the Tibetan Plateau. Eurasian lynxes were once incredibly common across the European landscape; however, massive extermination efforts have driven this beautiful cat back into the mountains. Finding a lynx in Europe is quite difficult, but there are many still present on the eastern side of the Himalayas.
In the summer, Eurasian lynxes sport reddish tan coats of fur covered with black spots in a pattern that is unique to every animal. As the weather gets cooler, the lynx grows a fresh winter coat in an attractive silver-grey. No matter what time of year it is, you’ll find that the lynx has a soft white underbelly that often extends to the paws and chin. Although beautiful, these mountain cats are incredibly dangerous and should only be observed from a distance.
Where to Find the Top Wild Animals in Eurasia
If you’re an animal observer, you’re probably wondering where the best places are to go animal watching throughout Eurasia. Because this continent is so large and there are so many animals who live on it, it’s hard to step outside the city without sighting some kind of exotic wildlife or beloved national mascot.
- Ermines, although elusive, can often be spotted in woodland areas. Keep an eye out for a flash of white fur in the winter and brown fur in the summertime.
- Moorhens like to nest near calm ponds, streams, and marshes. These sweet birds are not afraid to set up their home at a local park, especially if the human residents don’t threaten them.
- Barn owls like to live where there are mice to prey on. From well-populated woodlands to eerie graveyards, you’ll find these hardy survivalists everywhere across Eurasia.
- Wild boars like to inhabit grasslands and wooded areas with plenty of roots and vegetation. It’s very common to stumble upon a clearing in the woods only to find a small group of boars enjoying the afternoon.
- Wolves are located all across the Eurasian continent. If you want to spot a wolf pack, you’ll have to look for a northern environment with plenty of territory and places for the wolves to make their dens. Tundras, mountains, and forests all frequently harbor wolves.
The Most Dangerous Animals in Eurasia Today
The wild areas of Eurasia are known for hosting dangerous animals that are not afraid to defend their territory. Some of the most threatening types of wildlife that you’ll find across this continent include:
- Wolverines – The famously aggressive and dangerous wolverine ranges across the cold landscapes of Scandinavia and Siberia. These animals seldom venture down from the mountains. However, because they are known for being able to kill animals much larger than them, it’s smart to give wolverines a wide berth.
- Siberian Tigers – Also known as the Amur tiger or the Manchurian tiger, the Siberian tiger is known for claiming a huge swath of territory where it can reside as an apex predator. Tigers won’t attack humans unless they are starving, but their attacks are known to be particularly painful and deadly.
- Eurasian Lynxes – Eurasian lynxes will eat any prey that they can kill. This usually doesn’t include humans, but that doesn’t mean a lynx won’t attack a random traveler. Fear of lynx attacks led to major extermination efforts against these predators throughout central Europe.
- Asiatic Black Bears – Bears have a reputation for being docile, curious, and friendly. However, the Asiatic black bear is not nearly so interested in human company. With huge paws and territorial instincts, these impressive carnivores demand a huge berth.
- Wild Boars – Wild boars have been an important part of the Eurasian ecosystem for centuries. Although they are not carnivorous, these animals have no problem charging a human with their incredibly sharp tusks.
Endangered Animals in Eurasia
Because Eurasia is home to so many forms of wildlife, it’s not surprising to find that many animals on the endangered list call this continent their home. Constant habitat reduction, poaching, and purposeful extermination have left these species struggling to maintain their population numbers.
- Polar bears – Once wandering the expanses of Siberia, polar bears have seen a massive reduction in their population and could actually be extinct within the next decade.
- Snow leopards – The snow leopard has a beautiful white coat and lives in the Himalayan mountains. This vulnerable species has suffered heavily under extensive poaching for its unique appearance.
- Siberian tigers – Once critically endangered, the Siberian tiger has thankfully been moved to regular endangered status within the last few decades. Like snow leopards, tigers suffer heavily under poaching. In fact, their numbers have dwindled so much that the white tiger is feared to be extinct.
- Yaks – The yak is native to the Eurasian tundra. Although there are many carefully-tended domesticated herds that are still alive and well, wild yak populations have dwindled heavily and are nearly extinct.
