This is a list of the mammal species recorded in Wallis and Futuna. There are five mammal species in Wallis and Futuna, all of which are marine mammals of the order Cetacea.[1]
The following tags are used to highlight each species' conservation status as assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature:
LC | Least concern | There are no current identifiable risks to the species. |
DD | Data deficient | There is inadequate information to make an assessment of the risks to this species. |
The order Cetacea includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. They are the mammals most fully adapted to aquatic life with a spindle-shaped nearly hairless body, protected by a thick layer of blubber, and forelimbs and tail modified to provide propulsion underwater.
