Animals in Togo
7 mammal species are recorded in Togo in this dataset, 2 of them in a threatened Red List category. Togo 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 Togo.
They belong to 4 families, the best represented being Cercopithecidae (3), Soricidae (2), Bovidae (1). By Red List category: 1 Critically Endangered, 1 Endangered, 3 Near Threatened, 2 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 Togo is missing here, and a wide-ranging animal is counted in every country it crosses. All 7 of them have a full written profile.
