Abstract: The concept of “Pontic faunistic element in Bulgaria” is analyzed and determined. The Pontic element in Bulgaria is composed of land species of the Eurasian steppe, which settled in the country during various periods of the late Tertiary and especially of the Quaternary. The most important influence of the steppe and wood-steppe biome upon the Bulgarian fauna comes from the Pontic biogeographic province.
