Species with at least one recorded territory whose grid cell centres fall in or near Karoo National Park. Cells are up to 25 km across, so an animal counted here may have been recorded just outside the boundary. This is not a park checklist, and the counts follow where people look as much as what lives there.

Likely encounters

Encounter chances are worked out for the species with a full field-guide entry, and none of them has records here yet. The most recorded species below come from the same records.
