Animals in Madagascar

13 mammal species are recorded in Madagascar in this dataset, 9 of them in a threatened Red List category. Madagascar 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 Madagascar.

They belong to 7 families, the best represented being Indriidae (4), Nesomyidae (3), Soricidae (2). By Red List category: 3 Critically Endangered, 3 Endangered, 3 Vulnerable, 4 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 Madagascar is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 13 of them have a full written profile.
