Animals in Cuba
6 mammal species are recorded in Cuba in this dataset, 1 of them in a threatened Red List category. Cuba sits in North America, where 155 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Cuba.
They belong to 5 families, the best represented being Echimyidae (2), Capromyidae (1), Phyllostomidae (1). By Red List category: 2 Extinct, 1 Vulnerable, 3 Least Concern.
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 Cuba is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 6 of them have a full written profile.
