List of mammals of Korea

Approximately 100 species of mammal are known to inhabit, or to have recently inhabited, the Korean Peninsula and its surrounding waters. This includes a few species that were introduced in the 20th century; the coypu was introduced for farming in the 1990s, and the muskrat was introduced in the early 20th century into the Russian Far East, and was subsequently first recorded in Korea in the Tumen River basin in 1965. The Siberian tiger is the national animal of South Korea. The Siberian tiger and Amur leopard have most likely been extirpated from Korea, but are still included in standard lists of Korean mammals.

The Siberian tiger is the national animal of South Korea.
Korean Peninsula and surrounding islands
Once common throughout Korea, the red fox is now extremely rare.
The Amur leopard was one of the most abundant large carnivores in the Korean peninsula. However, they are extremely rare in North Korea.

Most Korean mammal species are found only in a small part of Korea. The large southeastern island of Jeju, and the rugged northeastern Paektu Mountain region, are particularly known for their distinctive mammal species. Several species, including the Dsinezumi shrew, are found only on Jeju, while many other species, such as the wild boar, are absent or extirpated from there. Some mammals, such as the Manchurian wapiti, are considered natural monuments of North Korea, while others, such as the spotted seal, are considered natural monuments of South Korea.

(북태평양참고래)

Eubalaena japonica
(Lacépède, 1818)
High reliance on coastal waters Sea of Japan, Korea Strait, Yellow Sea, East China Sea (wiped out by Japanese, Soviet, and American whalers)
  • It is unknown whether historically whales were seen for year-round in Korean waters.
  • All modern records of the species in Yellow Sea had been concentrated vicinity to Haiyang Island, and all modern catches[51] and strandings and sightings in East China Sea have been restricted around Amami Oshima[52][53][54][55] (5 records on Amami and Sukomobanare Islands in the last 110 years[56]) until 2014 as a right whale entered and cavorted in the port of Ushibuka, Kumamoto, later being chased out by fishery boats to concern either boat-struck or damage to fishery (Eubalaena sp. never or mostly does not feed on fish) on March.[57][58]
    • Last record sighting on Amami was of a 10-meter individual off Cape Miyakozaki on January 28, 2014, and another whale (unknown whether or not the same individual) swam into Ushibuka Port on March 28. Prior to this, a 10-meter individual was seen in Yakiuchi Bay on April 12, 1997.[59][60]
    • Last record in Yellow Sea was of the catch of a single whale in the south of Haiyang Dao in December 1977.[61] Prior to this, a pair was caught off Haiyang Dao by Japanese whalers in north of the island in January 1973 where both of these were later made to be specimen where smaller specimen became the only specimen (with skins and baleens) of the species in the world at the Dalian Natural History Museum,[62] and the larger individual is now on the Zhejiang Museum of Natural History.[63] reaching around 16–17.1m, and were later made to be specimens for exhibition at several locations.[64] Many of these captured individuals were rather large individuals as reaching around 16m, and were later made to be specimens for exhibition at several locations.[65] There have also been unknown quantity of modern catches exist on Taiwan as well.[66] At least two whales were taken off Haiyang in the Yellow Sea in by Japanese whalers in 1944. There have been none of confirmed records along Chinese coasts targeting right whales since after the last catch (or a sighting) in 1977.[67] For the catches in the Yellow Sea, P Wang, the same researcher who reported the catch in December 1977 off Haiyang Island in the Yellow Sea mentioned that it was possibly the same record as one in 1944 by Japanese whalers.[68]
    • The first confirmed record of the species happened in February, Namhae,[69] 41 years after the last record in 1974[70][71] (an illegal catch).[72][73][74]
    • This case was an entanglement and joint releasing effort by the governmental team and Busan aquarium was taken place,[75][76] although the whale disappeared during the night after the efforts, the actual consequences of disappearance and the fate of whale is unclear due to failure of monitoring thereafter.[citation needed]

(귀신고래)

Eschrichtius robustus
(Lilljeborg, 1861)
Migratory through coastal waters Sea of Japan, Korea Strait, Yellow Sea, East China Sea (wiped out by Japanese whalers)
  • Gray Whale Migration Site[79] was listed as South Korea's the 126th national monument in 1962,[80] and national protection of higher priorities was situated although illegal hunts had been taken place thereafter,[81] and there have been no recent sightings of the species in Korean waters.
  • There had been at least 24 records of gray whales in Chinese waters since in 1933 including sighting, stranding, and bycatches.[82] DNA analysis of 2011 specimen indicate that this female might not originate in the western population.
    • Last record in Korean waters was of the sighting of a pair off Bangeojin, Ulsan in 1977.[83]
  • Historically, possibly year-round residential happened in Chinese waters[84] hence residential or semi-residential occurrences around Korean Peninsula could have been feasible as well.

  • Sea of Japan resident group is endangered, critically endangered semi-resident population exists in Yellow Sea.
  • Illegal catches had become objects of public concern among the world.[81]
Blue whale

 
(대왕고래)

Balaenoptera musculus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Widespread but less common in Mediterranean seas (smaller numbers historically migrated into both sides of Korean Peninsula)[91] Regarded as being almost/already extinct in east Asian waters[92]
  • Being wiped out by Japanese whalers. Of the populations that once existed off coastal Japan, the last recorded confirmed stranding was in the 1950s.[93]
  • During cetacean sighting visual surveys in Tsushima Strait conducted by Japanese Coast Guard, several gigantic whales measuring over 20m in length have been observed in recent years, however their exact identities are unclear.[94]
Fin whale

 
(긴수염고래)

Balaenoptera physalus
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Coastal waters Coastal groups in northeast Asian waters, along with many other baleen species, were likely driven into serious perils or functional extinctions by industrial catches by Japan covering wide ranges of China and Korean EEZ within very short period in 20th century.[96]
  • After the functional extinction in Pacific side of Japanese waters between the 1910s and 1930s,[51] Japanese whalers cornered other Asian populations into serious peril (functional extinction might have been possible for some groups like the one in East China Sea)[97] After the cease of exploiting Asian stocks, Japan kept mass commercial and illegal hunts until 1975, and parts of Korean populations might have been damaged as several thousand individuals were hunted from various stations mainly along coasts of Hokkaido, Sanriku, and the Gotō Islands.[98]
  • Very small number of residents in Sea of Japan, Korea Strait today, being almost extinct in Yellow Sea and East China Sea.[99]
  • Recent sightings of large whales exceeding 20 m in length, likely to be fin whales, as blue whales in coastal northeast Asia are considered to be extinct,[100] indicate that remnants of the Sea of Japan or the Yellow– ohai Sea groups still pass through the Tsushima Strait[101] where all the larger cetaceans are under threats of being struck by high-speed vessels.[102]
  • There had been congregation areas among Sea of Japan to Yellow Sea such as in East Korea Bay, along eastern coasts of Korean Peninsula, and Ulleungdo,[103] although recent occurrences into these locations are of unclear due to locational disorders.
  • Fin whales in Yellow Sea could have been a unique form from outer Pacific populations due to their smaller size of around 20m or more at near maximum,[104] and breeding season in these regions was mainly in winter.
