This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Macau. There are8 2 mammal species in Macau.[1] The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the IUCN: | LC | Least Concern | There are no current identifiable risks to the species. |
Some species were assessed using an earlier set of criteria. Species assessed using this system have the following instead of Near Threatened and Least Concern categories: | LR/cd | Lower Risk/conservation dependent | Species which were the focus of conservation programmes and may have moved into a higher risk category if that programme was discontinued. | | LR/nt | Lower Risk/near threatened | Species which are close to being classified as Vulnerable but are not the subject of conservation programmes. | | LR/lc | Lower Risk/least concern | Species for which there are no identifiable risks. |
