List of mammals of Mayotte

[1] The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature: Sirenia is an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands.

The order Primates contains humans and their closest relatives: lemurs, lorisoids, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes.

The bats' most distinguishing feature is that their forelimbs are developed as wings, making them the only mammals capable of flight.

The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises.

They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater.
