Ptychodon schuppi is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Charopidae.
The oncilla, also known as the northern tiger cat, little spotted cat, and tigrillo, is a small spotted cat ranging from Central America to central Brazil. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, and the population is threatened by deforestation and conversion of habitat to agricultural land.
The pygmy brocket is a brocket deer species from South America. It is found in southern Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. It is a small deer with short legs, weighing 15 to 20 kilograms. It is reddish-brown in color.
Bokermann's nectar bat is a bat species from South America. It is endemic to Brazil. It feeds on nectar, and is listed as an endangered species.
Sanborn's big-eared bat is a bat species found in Bolivia and Brazil.
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as only consisting of living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range. Classification requires exhaustive surveys conducted within the species' known habitat with consideration given to seasonality, time of day, and life cycle. Once a species is classified as EW, the only way for it to be downgraded is through reintroduction.
The Brazilian radiolated swamp turtle is a species of turtle in the Chelidae family endemic to Brazil.
The Big-headed Amazon River turtle, also known as the big-headed sideneck, is a species of turtle in the family Podocnemididae. An additional, much larger species is known, the extinct Peltocephalus maturin, is also part of the genus, Peltocephalus.
The red-headed Amazon side-necked turtle, red-headed river turtle or red-headed sideneck is a species of turtle in the family Podocnemididae. It is found in the Amazon basin in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. The red-headed river turtle is considered a small turtle with a size of less than 32 cm, making it easily distinguishable from other species in the area. Identifying factors of this turtle include colors ranging from dark brown to black, barbels under the chin, and a bright red strip that goes from behind its head to the tympanum.
The Maranhão slider, also commonly known as the Brazilian slider or Carvalho's slider, is a species of turtle in the family Emydidae.
The small red brocket is a small species of deer in the family Cervidae. It is endemic to Atlantic Forest in Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo in southeastern Brazil. This species, which only was scientifically described in 1996, is threatened by habitat loss. Though its size and structure most resemble that of the pygmy brocket, its coloration is very similar to that of the red brocket. It resembles hybrids between these two species even more closely, but differs from both, and their hybrids, in karyotype.
Ptychodon is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Charopidae.
Muscocyclops is a genus of copepod crustaceans in the family Cyclopidae, comprising three species found only in South America. Two of the species – Muscocyclops bidentatus and Muscocyclops therasiae – are endemic to the Distrito Federal in Brazil, and are listed as conservation dependent on the IUCN Red List. The third species is Muscocyclops operculatus.
An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching, invasive species, and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbid hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some endangered species are the target of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration.
Thomas's yellow bat is a species of bat from the family Vespertilionidae.
The Chiriquinan serotine is a species of house bat.
Husson's yellow bat is a species of vesper bat found in Suriname and southern Brazil.
Vatusila is a genus of land snail found in Oceania. It consists of five extant and one fossil species. Alan Solem described and named the genus in 1983.
