Number of species in Mammals


The number of species, genus and families is approximate. It depends on the classification used and can therefore evolve according to the results of studies, particularly for species whose status is uncertain.
NOTE
- The number of subspecies likely is the number of taxa identified in the different taxonomies, or in different countries
- The number of subspecies described in taxonomy is to that identified in most of the official classification
- The number of subspecies taxonomy confirmed is those whose status is clearly defined to date
