Comments • The current (2008) MMNP mammal list totals 87 species. • There are a few large mammals that would be expected to be found in Mahale but that have not yet been observed. These include Mountain and/or Southern Reedbuck, Smith’s Red Rock Hare and Marsh Mongoose. • Bat surveys have not yet been conducted. It is likely that many species of bats and other small and/or nocturnal mammals remain to be found in Mahale. • Old records exist of Black Rhinoceros but it appears that this species no longer occurs in the area. (b) BIRDS Bird list for MMNP, 367 species, compiled from: - All published records, including Moreau (1943) and Ulfstrand & Lamprey (1960); - Data gathered by MEMP surveys (Anderson & Baker (2004), Moyer (2005) and Baker & Baker (2006)); - Recent records from contributors to the Tanzania Bird Atlas.
