The main animal species that dachigam is most famous for is the Hangul, or the Kashmir Stag. Other than this animal, some of the other species that inhabit it's interiors are Musk Deer, Leopards, Himalayan Gray Langurs, Leopard Cats, Himalayan Black Bear, Himalayan Brown Bear, Jackals, Hill Fox, Himalayan Weasel, Yellow Throated Martens, Jungle Cats, Long Tailed marmots and Otters.

A lot of these animals are very rarely seen and it is important to take along a guide well versed with their migratory, hibernating and daily habits. For example, there is no point in looking for Bears or Marmots during winter, even in lower Dachigam, as they are fast asleep in hibernation.
