Animals in Honduras

29 mammal species are recorded in Honduras in this dataset, 3 of them in a threatened Red List category. Honduras 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 Honduras.

They belong to 15 families, the best represented being Phyllostomidae (13), Felidae (2), Procyonidae (2). By Red List category: 2 Endangered, 1 Vulnerable, 3 Near Threatened, 21 Least Concern, 2 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 Honduras is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 29 of them have a full written profile.
