Animals in Singapore
7 mammal species are recorded in Singapore in this dataset, 3 of them in a threatened Red List category. Singapore 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 Singapore.
They belong to 5 families, the best represented being Sciuridae (3), Cynocephalidae (1), Manidae (1). By Red List category: 1 Critically Endangered, 1 Endangered, 1 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 Singapore is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 7 of them have a full written profile.
