Updated list of the larger mammals of the Comoe National Park, Ivory Coast

In this study we present an updated list of the larger mammals of the Comoe National Park in the Republic of Ivory Coast (West Africa). Wi did not include in our investigations the northernmost, drier part of the park. Using direct observations as well as reliable indirect signs we proved the existence of 69 species of larger mammals. Chiroptera as well as Insectivora and the smaller Rodentia have been excluded from our survey. If those orders and the drier parts of the park are surveyed more intensively during future studies the recorded number of mammal species found in the area will again increase. As a result of our study the total number of mammals found in the Comoe National Park arose to 152 species including Chiroptera, Insectivora and Rodentia, 11 of which are new to the park. Five of the former present species have not been observed during, the last decade and therefore might be extinct.
