Animals in Mauritius
One mammal species is recorded in Mauritius in this dataset, and it is in a threatened Red List category. Mauritius 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 Mauritius.
It belongs to the family Physeteridae. By Red List category: 1 Vulnerable.
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 Mauritius is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. It has a full written profile.
