ORDER CARNIVORA Bowdich, 1821

The Order Carnivora in Korea contains 25 species, 18 genera, and six families. Unfortunately, most large- and medium-sized carnivores are now extirpated, or their status is uncertain in Korea. Despite the high possibility of extinction, we include the large felids, canids and sea lion in our list. There continues to be a possibility that a few individuals persist or move from Russian Far East into northern Korea.
