Mammals
The modern
fauna of mammals in Tashkent includes 13 species of animals, which
are considered as the orders of insectivorouses, cheiroptera,
rodents, and carnivore. Hemiechinus auritus can be met
everywhere in the city, but the quantity of habitants is small and
the hedgehog is active only by nights. Another group of night
habitants is bats. These exotic animals are represented by six
species. Among them there are Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Myotis
emarginatus, Eptesicus serotinus . They prefer to live in garrets,
high buildings, under the archs of towers; Nyctalus noctula, Myotis
emarginatus, they prefer to live in old trees. These animals are all
mediasized and small in quantity. Contrary, the small bat and
Pipistrellus pipistrelluscan be met in the twilight almost
everywhere. Among the rodents the widely spread representatives are
Rattus norvegicus, Mus musculus, which create problems like
everywhere. Sometimes, on out-skirts of the city it is possible to
meet Vulpes vulpes, which easily adjusts to people, and Mustela
nivalis - small representative of martens family. On the out shirts,
through big canals the musk-Rat Ondatra zibetica
can sometimes penetrate
into the city.
