All mammals rankings list

Although there is much more to mammalwatching than listing species, it is – for many of us – a fun way to track our effort. Mammal listing is nothing more than a friendly competition. But I believe it can motivate mammalwatchers and also lead to a more interactive and lively community. So if you have a list please share it here. Any questions about what people have seen or where? Just click on their list and ask them.

If you are interested in doing a Big Mammal Day then here are the rules. And here is a thread on whether to count bats based on sonograms.
