List of mammals of Vietnam explained
This is a list of the mammal species of Vietnam. There are at least 290 mammal species in the country.[1]
The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed on the respective IUCN 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. | |
----The elephants comprise three living species and are the largest living land animals.
Order: Sirenia (manatees and 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 of Southeast Asia. Although called treeshrews, they are not true shrews and are not all arboreal.
----The two species of colugos make up the order Dermoptera. They are arboreal gliding mammals found in Southeast Asia.
Order: Primates
----The order Primates contains humans and their closest relatives: lemurs, lorisoids, monkeys, and apes.
Order: Rodentia (rodents)
----Rodents make up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept short by gnawing. Most rodents are small though the capybara can weigh up to 45kg (99lb).
----The lagomorphs comprise two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas). Though they can resemble rodents, and were classified as a superfamily 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.
Order: Eulipotyphla (shrews, hedgehogs, gymnures, moles and solenodons)
Eulipotyphlans are insectivorous mammals. Shrews and solenodons resemble mice, hedgehogs carry spines, gymnures look more like large rats, while moles are stout-bodied burrowers.
----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 VU
- Pearson'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 DD
- Thomas's horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus thomasi
- Subfamily: Hipposiderinae
Order: Pholidota (pangolins)
----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 unrelated anteater species.
Order: Cetacea (whales)
----The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. They are the mammals most fully adapted 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.
- Suborder: Mysticeti (baleen whales)
CR[22]
DD- Eden's whale, Balaenoptera edeni
DD- Northern blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus
CR[23] - Suborder: Odontoceti (toothed whales)
- Superfamily: Platanistoidea
Order: Carnivora (carnivorans)
----There are over 260 species of carnivorans, the majority of which feed primarily on meat. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition.
Order: Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates)
----The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. There are about 220 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans.
- Family: Tragulidae
- Family: Moschidae
- Family: Cervidae (deer)
- Family: Bovidae (cattle, antelope, sheep, goats)
- Family: Suidae (pigs)
