As a result of the island's long isolation from neighboring continents, Madagascar is home to an abundance of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. [2] [3] Approximately 90 percent of all plant and animal species found in Madagascar are endemic, [4] including the lemurs (a type of strepsirrhine primate), the carnivorous fossa and
About 30% of the vertebrates in Spain are threatened. [4] Terrestrial mammals native to Spain and the island groups, include the European hedgehog, two species of mole, the Pyrenean desman and about a dozen species of shrew.

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.
In order for the species to survive, it is estimated that at least 555 km 2 (214 sq mi) is needed to maintain smaller, short-term viable populations, and at least 2,000 km 2 (770 sq mi) for populations of 500 adults. [27] Taboo, known in Madagascar as fady, [39] offers protection for the fossa and other carnivores. [40]
