No animal species are known to be found only in Liechtenstein
This search returns no strict endemics. Endemism means a species lives naturally in one place and nowhere else. Liechtenstein is very small and shares the same Alpine habitats with Switzerland and Austria, so animals that live there also occur across the surrounding region.
Note why the criteria creates this result. Political borders rarely match nature’s boundaries. Species spread along mountain ranges, valleys, and rivers that cross countries. Scientific databases and surveys (GBIF, IUCN Red List, and national biodiversity reports) report species present in Liechtenstein but also in neighboring countries. True endemics usually need long-term isolation or unique habitats, which Liechtenstein’s landscape and size do not provide.
Check close alternatives and related categories instead. Look for species that occur in Liechtenstein but are regionally restricted in the Alps, endemic subspecies, or locally rare invertebrates. Examples of animals you can study in the area include the Alpine chamois, alpine marmot, and golden eagle — all Alpine species that also live in neighboring countries. For unique biodiversity, explore lists of species endemic to the Alps, endemic subspecies recorded in museum or national reports, or narrowly distributed invertebrates documented in GBIF and regional studies.
