An even higher risk is faced by critically endangered species, which meet the quantitative criteria for endangered species. Critically endangered mammals are listed ...
[1] 56% of all evaluated mammalian species are listed as least concern. The IUCN also lists 127 mammalian subspecies as least concern. Of the subpopulations of mammals evaluated by the IUCN, one species subpopulation has been assessed as least concern. This is a complete list of least concern mammalian species and subspecies evaluated by the IUCN.

[6] Lemming behaviour and appearance are markedly different from those of other rodents, which are inconspicuously coloured and try to conceal themselves from their predators.

This is a complete list of near threatened mammalian species and subspecies evaluated by the IUCN. Species and subspecies which have near threatened subpopulations (or stocks) are indicated. Where possible common names for taxa are given while links point to the scientific name used by the IUCN.
The majority of the species were considered endangered in the 1970s and 1980s when they “were in very low numbers or likely already extinct at the time of listing,” the release said ...
Oct. 14—Toward the end of September, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to remove 22 animals and a plant from the endangered species list because of extinction. They join the list of ...
