One furry little animal in Switzerland is the Marmont. The Marmont closely resembles a chinchilla. It has soft silver-grey fur, and a squirrel like head. These animals live in family units underground. They can be found eating in the valleys and mountainsides. They stock up on food during the spring, and summer, making themselves, "fat and happy" because they hibernate in the winter. Their main worry is birds, snakes, and foxes; which eat these little creatures. Their numbers were dwindling before some of them were placed in a conservation park.

The Alpine Salamander is the only amphibian animal living in Switzerland which gives birth to its' young. As a form of adaptation, the salamander's young may stay inside the mother's body for up to three years. This animals lives in wet areas of the mountainous regions. It survives by eating insects.

Switzerland has all the common wild animals in western Europe, foxes, moles, mice, squirrels, deer and many types of birds.

Additionally, because Switzerland is mountainous and contains many forests it has animals which are not common in other parts of Europe:

- Marmots. These live in the Alps only.

- Beavers

- Wild Boar

- Lynx

- Wolves-

- Bears. Bears were extinct in Switzerland but have migrated from Italy in recent years.
