Animals in Myanmar

53 mammal species are recorded in Myanmar in this dataset, 25 of them in a threatened Red List category. Myanmar sits in Asia, where 324 species are recorded in total. Every species below is listed because the range description of its IUCN Red List assessment names Myanmar.

They belong to 21 families, the best represented being Muridae (10), Sciuridae (8), Bovidae (5). By Red List category: 6 Critically Endangered, 7 Endangered, 12 Vulnerable, 3 Near Threatened, 25 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 Myanmar is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 53 of them have a full written profile.
