Landmark Review Confirms 227 Mammal Species in Honduras, the Country's Most Comprehensive Assessment in Nearly Three Decades

An eight-year international research effort has produced the most comprehensive review of Honduras' mammals since 1998, verifying 227 native species across 146 genera and 42 families, along with three introduced rodent species. The study, published in the open-access journal ZooKeys, also forecasts that as many as 28 further species could eventually be confirmed in the country, bringing the potential total to 258.
