This is a collection of lists of mammal species by the estimated global population, divided by orders. Lists only exist for some orders; for example, the most diverse order - rodents - is missing. Much of the data in these lists were created by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Global Mammal Assessment Team, which ...
South America's meager lagomorph diversity (6 species compared to 18 for North America north of Mexico) reflects their recent arrival and failure (so far) to diversify much. Only the tapeti is present south of northern South America; lagomorphs are absent from most of South America's southern cone. Family: Leporidae (rabbits, hares) Genus ...
Lists of mammals by region cover mammals found in different parts of the world. They are organized by continent, region, and country, and in some places by sub-national region. Most are full species lists, while those for Australia and the Caribbean have links to more specific species lists.
This is a list of South American countries and dependencies by population in South America, total projected population from the United Nations [1] and the latest official figure. Map [ edit ]
More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [7] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. [8] [9] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [10] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.

One of the 25 most endangered primates. [7] Delacour's langur: Trachypithecus delacouri: 234–275 [8] CR [8] [8] The population of the species has radically decreased over the past decade. [8] Silky sifaka: Propithecus candidus: 250 [9] CR [9] [9] Estimate is believed to be a maximum. [9] Tonkin snub-nosed monkey: Rhinopithecus avunculus: 250 ...
South America is the continent with the largest number of recorded bird species. [3] Additionally, speciation has occurred at a higher rate in South America than in other parts of the world. [1] This is likely due to the large amount of land mass close to the equator.
This is a list of Latin American countries and dependent territories by population, which is sorted by the 2015 mid-year normalized demographic projections. Table [ edit ]
