Animals in Sudan

19 mammal species are recorded in Sudan in this dataset, 5 of them in a threatened Red List category. Sudan 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 Sudan.

They belong to 8 families, the best represented being Bovidae (7), Muridae (6), Bathyergidae (1). By Red List category: 1 Critically Endangered, 2 Endangered, 2 Vulnerable, 1 Near Threatened, 13 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 Sudan is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 19 of them have a full written profile.
