Animals in Ivory Coast

26 mammal species are recorded in Ivory Coast in this dataset, 12 of them in a threatened Red List category. Ivory Coast sits in Africa, where 267 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Ivory Coast.

They belong to 10 families, the best represented being Bovidae (6), Cercopithecidae (6), Anomaluridae (3). By Red List category: 3 Critically Endangered, 6 Endangered, 3 Vulnerable, 4 Near Threatened, 8 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 Ivory Coast is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 26 of them have a full written profile.
