The main source is the most recent atlas survey of mammals in Denmark. [1] The atlas records 88 mammal species in Denmark . Since the atlas was published in 2007, four new species have been recorded in the country: the grey wolf, [ 2 ] golden jackal [ 3 ] , Cuvier's beaked whale [ 4 ] and grey long-eared bat.
Each atlas presents 10 km 2 distribution maps for the species within its scope. Maps typically use different symbols to signify records from differing time-periods - solid symbols for 10-km squares (hectads) that have recent records, and unfilled symbols for 10-km squares for which only older records exist, according to a defined cut-off date.
