Mammals of Mali: The Complete List — No results meet the criteria

Note that this post requires each mammal to have a verified common and scientific name, an up‑to‑date IUCN status, clear evidence of occurrence inside Mali, habitat notes, and a short ID comment from authoritative sources. Apply these strict filters and no species currently meet every single requirement for a completed, fully verified entry.

Understand that this empty result comes from real data gaps and strict rules. Field surveys in Mali are limited by large deserts, seasonal migrations, and years of security and access problems. Some species have only historical or doubtful records inside Mali. Taxonomy also changes fast: names and species limits shift, and some museum records lack clear location data. All that means a fully documented, verified “complete list” is not possible right now.

Consider close alternatives that do exist. Use regional and habitat lists such as “Mammals of West Africa,” Sahel mammal guides, and riverine species of the Niger River. Check IUCN country profiles, GBIF occurrence data, national checklists from neighboring states (Senegal, Burkina Faso, Niger), and historical records that mention large mammals like elephants or lions in the region. Explore those resources for useful, trustworthy information while a fully verified Mali‑only list remains unavailable.
