Animals in Seychelles
3 mammal species are recorded in Seychelles in this dataset, 3 of them in a threatened Red List category. Seychelles 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 Seychelles.
They belong to 3 families, the best represented being Emballonuridae (1), Molossidae (1), Soricidae (1). By Red List category: 2 Critically Endangered, 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 Seychelles is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 3 of them have a full written profile.
