Mammals of
Mãe-da-Lua Reserve
by Hermann Redies
The criterion for inclusion of a species in the list below is that I personally saw the animal in RPPN Mãe-da-Lua or that a picture of the species was taken by a trail camera in the reserve.
For most species in the list below, there is a link to a page with more detailed information (in Portuguese).
I followed the taxonomic system of Eisenberg and Redford 1999, with a few minor deviations.
