Abstract

Abstract Due to the wide distribution through the Iranian Plateau, especially in its western parts adjacent to Iraq’s northeastern borders, the occurrence of Brandt’s Hedgehog Paraechinus hypomelas (Brandt, 1836) was suspected, but no confirmed records were made. In 2021–2023, several sightings were obtained during in situ surveys in the Bamo-Khoshk Mountains in the Kurdistan region-northeastern Iraq which confirm the first occurrence of this species in the country.

布氏刺猬，Paraechinus hypomelas (Brandt, 1836)，伊拉克哺乳动物群的新成员

摘要由于布氏刺猬（Paraechinus hypomelas (Brandt, 1836)）广泛分布于伊朗高原，特别是其西部毗邻伊拉克东北部边境的地区，因此人们曾怀疑该物种的存在，但没有得到证实。2021-2023 年，在伊拉克东北部库尔德斯坦地区的巴莫-科什克山（Bamo-Khoshk Mountains）进行实地调查时，发现了几处踪迹，这证实了该物种在伊拉克的首次出现。
