This is a list of themammal species ofVietnam . There are at least 290mammal species in the country.[ 1]
The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed on the respectiveIUCN Red List :
EX Extinct No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died. EW Extinct in the wild Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized populations well outside its previous range. CR Critically endangered The species is in imminent risk of extinction in the wild. EN Endangered The species is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. VU Vulnerable The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. NT Near threatened The species does not meet any of the criteria that would categorise it as risking extinction but it is likely to do so in the future. LC Least concern There are no current identifiable risks to the species. DD Data deficient There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species.
Asian elephant The elephants comprise three living species and are the largest living land animals.
Dugongs Sirenia is an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that live in rivers and marine wetlands. It includes four extant species, three manatees and the dugong, and the extinct Stellar's sea cow.
The treeshrews are small mammals native to the tropical forests ofSoutheast Asia . Although called treeshrews, they are not true shrews and are not allarboreal .
Sunda flying lemur The two species of colugos make up the order Dermoptera. They arearboreal gliding mammals found inSoutheast Asia .
Black crested gibbon The order Primates containshumans and their closest relatives:lemurs ,lorisoids ,monkeys , andapes .
Polynesian rat Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have twoincisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. Most rodents are small though thecapybara can weigh up to 45 kg (99 lb).
The lagomorphs comprise two families,Leporidae (hares andrabbits ), and Ochotonidae (pikas ). Though they can resemblerodents , and were classified as asuperfamily in that order until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such as having four incisors in the upper jaw rather than two.
Eulipotyphlans are insectivorous mammals.Shrews andsolenodons resemble mice,hedgehogs carry spines,gymnures look more like large rats, whilemoles are stout-bodied burrowers.
Megaderma lyra The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of flight. Bat species account for about 20% of all mammals.
Family:Pteropodidae (flying foxes, Old World fruit bats) Family:Vespertilionidae Family:Molossidae Family:Emballonuridae Family:Megadermatidae Family:Rhinolophidae Subfamily:Rhinolophinae Genus:Rhinolophus Intermediate horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus affinis Bornean horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus borneensis Woolly horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus luctus Big-eared horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus macrotis Malayan horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus malayanus Marshall's horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus marshalli Bourret's horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus paradoxolophus VUPearson's horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus pearsoni Rufous horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus rouxi Chinese rufous horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus sinicus Lesser brown horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus stheno Little Nepalese horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus subbadius DDThomas's horseshoe bat ,Rhinolophus thomasi Subfamily:Hipposiderinae Sunda pangolin The order Pholidota comprises the eight species of pangolin. Pangolins are anteaters and have the powerful claws, elongated snout and long tongue seen in the other unrelatedanteater species.
Spinner dolphins Orcas The order Cetacea includeswhales ,dolphins andporpoises . They are the mammals most fullyadapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater.
Tiger Yellow-throated marten Raccoon dog Dhole There are over 260 species of carnivorans, the majority of which feed primarily on meat. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition.
Sika deer Sambar deer Indian muntjac Gaur The even-toed ungulates areungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as inperissodactyls . There are about 220 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans.
