This paper documented the compilation of mammalian fauna in the Sungai Weng sub-catchment, Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, Kedah. Most animals were sighted opportunistically during survey and other activities in the area. Other mode of detection was animal tracks, marks, dens, nests and scats. The result revealed 70 species of mammals from seven orders and 21 families. The collection of the Sunda shrew and an albininic moonrat were of significant findings. Among the 49 species of bats recorded, nine species constitute new locality record for Kedah. Large mammals such as bear, tiger, leopards, and barking deer were also detected. The diversity of mammalian fauna is still rich and it is expected that logging will increase some pressure on the animal population.
