Animals in Bolivia

85 mammal species are recorded in Bolivia in this dataset, 12 of them in a threatened Red List category. Bolivia sits in South America, where 232 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Bolivia.

They belong to 26 families, the best represented being Cricetidae (31), Phyllostomidae (16), Chlamyphoridae (4). By Red List category: 2 Critically Endangered, 4 Endangered, 6 Vulnerable, 9 Near Threatened, 61 Least Concern, 3 Data Deficient.

These counts come from the text of each assessment rather than from an official country checklist, so a species whose assessment names a region without naming Bolivia is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 85 of them have a full written profile.
