Liosta na n-éan in Éirinn

Seo liosta de na speicis mamaigh a taifeadadh in Éirinn. A new Red List of Irish terrestrial mammals was published in 2009 and all 26 terrestrial species native to Ireland, or naturalised in Ireland before 1500, were assessed. Of these, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is regionally extinct; the black rat (Rattus rattus) was assessed as vulnerable; Leisler's bat (Nyctalus leisleri), the otter (Lutra lutra), and the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) were assessed as near threatened; Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) was data deficient; and the remaining 20 were of least concern.[1]

Ord: Diprotodontia

Though most marsupials make up a great part of the fauna in the Australian region, the red-necked wallaby has been introduced and a population is currently breeding on Lambay island.[2]

Infrea-aicme: Eutheria

Ord: Rodentia (rodents)

cuir in eagar
 
Red squirrel

Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing.

Ord: Lagomorpha (lagomorphs)

cuir in eagar
 
European rabbit

The lagomorphs comprise two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas). Though they can resemble rodents, and were classified as a superfamily in that order until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such as having four incisors in the upper jaw rather than two.

Ord: Erinaceomorpha (hedgehogs and gymnures)

cuir in eagar
 
West European hedgehog

The order Erinaceomorpha contains a single family, Erinaceidae, which comprise the hedgehogs and gymnures. The hedgehogs are easily recognised by their spines while gymnures look more like large rats.

Ord: Soricomorpha (shrews, moles, and solenodons)

cuir in eagar

The "shrew-forms" are insectivorous mammals. The shrews and solenodons closely resemble mice while the moles are stout-bodied burrowers.

 
Daubenton's bat
 
Brown long-eared bat

The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of flight. Bat species account for about 20% of all mammals.

 
North Atlantic right whale
 
Humpback whale diving
 
Beluga
 
Harbour porpoise
 
Risso's dolphin
 
Bull killer whale

The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. 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.

Ord: Carnivora (carnivorans)

cuir in eagar
 
Stoat
 
Grey seal

Carnivorans include over 260 species, the majority of which eat meat as their primary dietary item. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition.

Ord: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates)

cuir in eagar
 
Red deer

The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. There are about 220 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans.
