Mammals

The variety of living conditios provides survival for numerous mammals especially those connected with aquatic habitats like otter (Lutra lutra) and wild cat (Felis silvestris) whose habitats are flooded forests.Both species have been endangered in the whole of Europe and have been protected by the Berne Convention. There are also some fur animals in Zasavica like Ondatra zibetica better known as Byzantium rat. From the shrews we can mention Sorex araneus, Apodemus agrarius, Glis glis and many species of bat (Chiroptera) put on the list of natural rarities of Serbia

Reintroduction of European beaver (Castor fiber L.) has been successfully done in the Reserve when thirty specimens i.e. four families with five members and some singles have been released into it. Beaver is the first animal species to have been extinct directly by human activities.The first proof of adjusting is the first beaver dam built in Serbia .
