Mammal fauna makes up 37 species. Elk, wild boar, brown bear, wolf, fox, badger, common weasel, and alpine hare are common; lynx and otter are rare.

Ornithofauna includes more than 230 species of nesting and migratory birds. Hazel grouse, wood grouse, and Pensoreus infaustus are met; black grouse and rype are numerous. Waterfowl is numerous, with ducks, gulls, and shore-birds. During migration white-fronted goose, bean goose, whooper swan stop in the Zapovednik.
