What Kind Of Animals Live In Mexico

This is a listing of the native wild mammal species recorded in United mexican states. As of September 2014, at that place were 536 mammalian species or subspecies listed. Based on IUCN data, Mexico has 23% more noncetacean mammal species than the U.S. and Canada combined in an expanse only 10% as big, or a species density over 12 times that of its northern neighbors.^{[north 1]} Mexico's high mammal biodiversity is in part a reflection of the broad array of biomes nowadays over its latitudinal, climatic and altitudinal ranges, from lowland tropical rainforest to temperate desert to montane forest to alpine tundra. The full general increment in terrestrial biodiversity moving towards the equator^[1] is another important gene in the comparison. Mexico includes much of the Mesoamerican and Madrean pine-oak woodlands biodiversity hotspots. From a biogeographic standpoint, near of Mexico is linked to the residue of N America as office of the Nearctic realm. However, the lowlands of southern Mexico are linked with Central America and South America equally part of the Neotropical realm. All-encompassing mixing of Nearctic and Neotropical mammal species commenced only iii 1000000 years ago, when the formation of the Isthmus of Panama ended South America's long menstruum of isolation and precipitated the Keen American Interchange. Twenty of United mexican states'south extant nonflying species (opossums, armadillos, anteaters, monkeys and caviomorph rodents) are of Southward American origin. Most of the megafauna that formerly inhabited the region became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene about x,000 years ago, shortly afterward the arrival of the first humans. Increasing alteration and destruction of natural habitats by expanding human being populations during the last several centuries is causing farther attrition of the region'south biodiversity, every bit exemplified by the "hotspot" designations (by definition, such areas have lost over 70% of their primary vegetation).

The post-obit tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature; those on the left are used here, those in the second column in some other articles:

EX	EX	Extinct	No reasonable incertitude that the last individual has died.
EWest	EW	Extinct in the wild	Known only to survive in captivity or as a naturalized population well exterior its historic range.
CR	CR	Critically endangered	The species is in imminent danger of extinction in the wild.
EN	EN	Endangered	The species is facing a very high adventure of extinction in the wild.
VU	VU	Vulnerable	The species is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
NT	NT	Near threatened	The species does not qualify as being at high adventure of extinction simply is likely to exercise so in the future.
LC	LC	Least concern	The species is not currently at risk of extinction in the wild.
DD	DD	Information deficient	There is inadequate information to appraise the risk of extinction for this species.
NE	NE	Not evaluated	The conservation status of the species has not been studied.

Of the listed taxa, 7 are extinct, i (not recognized past the IUCN) is maybe extinct, 30 are critically endangered, 46 are endangered, 26 are vulnerable, and 23 are well-nigh threatened.^{[n ii]} These status tags were most recently updated in April 2011. Half dozen of the extinct or possibly extinct taxa and xi of the critically endangered taxa are insular (all but two of these are rodents); another thirteen of the critically endangered species (all rodents or shrews) are montane. The simply critically endangered species that are neither rodents nor shrews are the Cozumel Isle raccoon and the vaquita. The vaquita population estimate has dropped below 100 as of 2014 and it is regarded every bit existence in imminent danger of extinction.^[2] ^[3]

Infraclass: Metatheria [edit]

Order: Didelphimorphia (common opossums) [edit]

Didelphimorphia is the order of common opossums of the Western Hemisphere. Opossums probably diverged from the bones S American marsupials in the late Cretaceous or early on Paleocene. They are small to medium-sized marsupials, near the size of a big house cat, with a long snout and prehensile tail.

Order: Sirenia (manatees and dugongs) [edit]

Sirenia is an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands. All four species are endangered. They evolved virtually l million years ago, and their closest living relatives are elephants. Manatees are the only extant afrotherians in the Americas. Withal, a number proboscid species, some of which survived until the inflow of Paleo-Indians, once inhabited the region. Mammoths, mastodons and gomphotheres all formerly lived in Mexico.^[iv] ^[5]

Order: Cingulata (armadillos) [edit]

Armadillos are small mammals with a bony armored shell. Two of xx-i extant species are present in United mexican states; the remainder are only establish in South America, where they originated. Their much larger relatives, the pampatheres and glyptodonts, once lived in North and South America but went extinct following the advent of humans.

Order: Pilosa (anteaters, sloths and tamanduas) [edit]

The guild Pilosa is extant merely in the Americas and includes the anteaters, sloths, and tamanduas. Their bequeathed domicile is South America. Numerous ground sloths, some of which reached the size of elephants, were once nowadays in both North and S America, besides as on the Antilles, only all went extinct following the arrival of humans.

Order: Primates [edit]

The social club Primates includes the lemurs, monkeys, and apes, with the latter category including humans. Information technology is divided into iv primary groupings: strepsirrhines, tarsiers, monkeys of the New World (parvorder Platyrrhini), and monkeys and apes of the Old Globe. Mexico's two genera of nonhuman primates compares to vi in Central America, 20 in Southward America, 15 in Republic of madagascar, 23 in Africa and 19 in Asia. Mexican and Central American monkeys are recent immigrants from South America, where their ancestors arrived afterward rafting over from Africa roughly 25 million years ago.^[6] Southeastern United mexican states is the northernmost limit of the distribution of New World monkeys, which are restricted to tropical rainforest habitat.

Lodge: Rodentia (rodents) [edit]

Rodents brand up the largest order of mammals, with over 40% of mammalian species. They have two incisors in the upper and lower jaw which grow continually and must be kept curt by gnawing. Most rodents are small, although the capybara tin weigh up to 45 kg (99 lb). Co-ordinate to the IUCN list, United mexican states has more than rodent species (236 every bit of April 2011) than any other country in the world (Brazil is second with 222). Of United mexican states'south rodents, 2% are caviomorphs, xiv.5% are sciurids, 25.5% are castorimorphs and 58% are cricetids. This distribution is fairly like to that of the remainder of North America (although sciurids are relatively twice as arable to the north, at the expense of cricetids), but is very unlike from that of S America, where the corresponding figures are 36%, 3%, i% and lx%. Of Mexico's cricetids, 17% are sigmodontine, while the effigy for South America is 99.5%.^{[n 3]} United mexican states's caviomorphs are recent immigrants from South America, where their ancestors done aground later on rafting across the Atlantic from Africa about twoscore–45 meg years ago.^[6] ^[7] Conversely, South America'south sciurids, castorimorphs and cricetids are recent immigrants from Central America (with sigmodontines getting a head start on the others).

Social club: Lagomorpha (lagomorphs) [edit]

The lagomorphs contain two families, Leporidae (hares and rabbits), and Ochotonidae (pikas). Though they can resemble rodents, and were classified as a superfamily in that guild until the early 20th century, they have since been considered a separate order. They differ from rodents in a number of physical characteristics, such every bit having 4 incisors in the upper jaw rather than two. The endangered volcano rabbit of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Chugalug is the world's second smallest rabbit. In North America, pikas are not establish due south of southern California and northern New United mexican states.

Guild: Carnivora (carnivorans) [edit]

At that place are over 260 species of carnivorans, the majority of which feed primarily on meat. They have a characteristic skull shape and dentition. United mexican states has more native mephitids than any other country, with two thirds of extant species beingness present. But Costa Rica and Panama take more than procyonid species (one more than) than Mexico (it is tied with Republic of colombia in this respect). Large extinct carnivorans that lived in the area prior to the coming of humans include the saber-toothed cat Smilodon fatalis, the scimitar true cat Homotherium serum, American lions, American cheetahs, dire wolves and brusque-faced bears.

Gild: Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates) [edit]

The odd-toed ungulates are browsing and grazing mammals. They are usually large to very large, and have relatively unproblematic stomachs and a large heart toe. Tapirids were more widespread before humans appeared, formerly being present in temperate North America likewise as the tropical regions they are constitute in today. Native equids once lived in the region, having evolved in North America over a period of 50 million years, simply died out around the time of the first inflow of humans, along with at least 1 ungulate of Southward American origin, the notoungulate Mixotoxodon. Sequencing of collagen from a fossil of 1 recently extinct notoungulate has indicated that this order was closer to the perissodactyls than any extant mammal order.^[9]

Order: Artiodactyla (fifty-fifty-toed ungulates and cetaceans) [edit]

The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about every bit by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. In that location are nearly 220 noncetacean artiodactyl species, including many that are of keen economic importance to humans. All of Mexico's extant ungulates are of Nearctic origin. Prior to the arrival of humans, camelids, which evolved in North America, likewise lived in the region, as did additional antilocaprids (e.thou., Capromeryx small-scale).

Order: Cetacea (whales, dolphins and porpoises) [edit]

The gild Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. They are the mammals well-nigh fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped well-nigh hairless trunk, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater. Their closest extant relatives are the hippos, which are artiodactyls, from which cetaceans descended; cetaceans are thus also artiodactyls. Lagoons on the declension of Baja California Sur provide calving grounds for the eastern Pacific population of grey whales. The vaquita of the northern Gulf of California is the world'south smallest and most endangered cetacean.

Notes [edit]

^ As of 2014-05-10, the IUCN lists 491 noncetacean species for Mexico (area 1,972,550 km²) and 398 for the U.South. plus Canada (area xix,811,345 kmⁱⁱ).
^ This list is derived from the IUCN Red Listing which lists species of mammals and includes those mammals that have recently been classified as extinct (since 1500 AD). The taxonomy and naming of the private species is based on those used in existing Wikipedia articles as of 21 May 2007 and supplemented by the common names and taxonomy from the IUCN, Smithsonian Establishment, or University of Michigan where no Wikipedia article was bachelor.
^ This is based on the definition of Sigmodontinae that excludes Neotominae and Tylomyinae.
