Abstract
Most of the wild ungulates which inhabited the Syrian territories (Syrian Arab Republic) has been exterminated in historical times. At present, the Wild Boar, Sus scrofa, the Roe Deer, Capreolus capreolus, and two or possibly three species of gazelle, Gazella subgutturosa, G. dorcas, and G. gazella, are the only survivors from a rich fauna of ungulates that ranged widely until recent times. The Arabian Oryx, Oryx leucoryx, and the Nubian Ibex, Capra ibex nubiana, do not appear to exist any longer. The latter species was probably exterminated during the second half of the 20th century.
Kurzfassung
Die meisten Huftierarten Syriens starben in historischer Zeit aus. Momentan leben in Syrien als Reste einer einst reichen Paarhufer-Fauna nur noch Wildschwein, Sus scrofa, Reh, Capreolus capreolus, und zwei oder möglicherweise drei Arten von Gazellen: Gazella subgutturosa, G. dorcas und G. gazella. Die Arabische Oryxantilope, Oryx leucoryx, und der Nubische Steinbock, Capra ibex nubiana, existieren offenbar in Syrien nicht mehr, wobei der Nubische Steinbock in der zweiten Hälfte der 20. Jh. ausstarb.
