Yesterday I completed a list of what I believe is all the mammal species in my personal animal photograph collection. The collection has its share of birds, reptiles, amphibians etc, but I guessed I would be doing only the mammals for now. Though a few things of interest; in that not necessarily every mammal of the list is what I have seen myself; even though quite a good chunk of the list is, some of the mammals were contributions of family members of mine. And adversely, there's a fairly good chance that this list does not equate even to every species of mammal I have seen in my lifetime - I was quite surprised that in my photographic collection I was unable to find any red-ruffed lemur pictures, for instance, though given that species' ubiquity in UK captivity, I've almost certainly seen one before. And of course there's the off-chance I may have misidentified one of those deer at Berlin Tierpark or I have overlooked a photo or two, but this should give a good idea of the overall thing, by and large.

Pretty sure, if you're splitting taurine domestic cattle as taurus, Zebu/Indicine cattle should be Bos indicus. Also, very impressive list!
I was thinking of making a video showing pictures of all 295 [I found two more not listed here] mammal species I have accumulated in my photographic collection over the years - I was wondering if maybe you would like to see that?
Hello dillotest0 That's an interesting list, but I was a bit confused about the inconsistent classification used: MONOTREMES This is generally considered to be an Order of mammals, Monotremata MARSUPIALS This comprises several Orders of mammals e.g.Didelphimorphia (Opossums: 1), Dasyuromorpha (2-5) and Diprotodontia (6-20) TENRECS This is a Family of the Order, Afrosoricida ELEPHANT SHREWS This is an Order, Macroscelidea BATS This is an Order, Chiroptera TREE-SHREWS This is an Order, Scandentia PRIMATES This is an Order, Primates ANTEATERS, SLOTHS, AND ARMADILLOS This is divided into 2 Orders, Cingulata (armadillos) and Pilosa (anteaters and sloths) RABBITS AND HARES This is a Family of the Order Lagomorpha, which also includes pikas OTHER RODENTS This title implies that rabbits, hares and pikas are rodents (Order Rodentia). CIVETS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora MONGOOSES This is a Family of the Order Carnivora MALAGASY CARNIVORES This is a Family of the Order Carnivora HYAENAS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora. Why did you include 2 types of aardwolf? CATS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora DOGS AND RACCOON-DOGS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora BEARS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora RED PANDAS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora PROCYNIDS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora and should have been listed as Procyonids SKUNKS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora and also includes stink badgers MUSTELIDS This is a Family of the Order Carnivora SEALS, SEA LIONS AND FUR SEALS This comprises 2 Families of the Order Carnivora: True seals (Phocidae) and sea lions and fur seals (Otariidae) AARDVARKS This is an Order, Tubilidentata HYRAXES This is an Order, Hyracoidea ELEPHANTS This is an Order, Proboscidea RHINOCEROSES This is a Family of the Order Perissodactyla TAPIRS This is a Family of the Order Perissodactyla EQUIDS This is a Family of the Order Perissodactyla PIGS AND PECCARIES This comprises 2 Families of the Order Cetartiodactyla: Pigs (Suidae) and peccaries (Tayassuidae) HIPPOPOTAMUSES This comprises a Family of the Order Cetartiodactyla CAMELS AND RELATIVES This comprises a Family of the Order Cetartiodactyla GIRAFFES AND RELATIVES This comprises a Family of the Order Cetartiodactyla CHEVROTAINS This comprises a Family of the Order Cetartiodactyla DEER This comprises 2 Families of the Order Cetartiodactyla: Musk deer (Moschidae:1) and deer (Cervidae: 2-12) CATTLE This comprises a group of animals in the Family Bovidae, Order Cetartiodactyla NILGAI AND CHOUSINGHA This comprises a group of animals in the Family Bovidae, Order Cetartiodactyla TRAGELAPHURES This comprises a group of animals in the Family Bovidae, Order Cetartiodactyla and should be called 'Tragelephines', which includes a few genera. HORSE-ESQUE ANTELOPES This comprises a group of animals in the Family Bovidae, Order Cetartiodactyla and should be called Hippotraginae MISCELLANEOUS ANTELOPE This comprises various animals in the Family Bovidae, Order Cetartiodactyla SHEEP, GOATS ETC This comprises various animals in the Family Bovidae, Order Cetartiodactyla
I would suggest because it isn't a scientific treatise, it is just a personal list arranged in the way that is easiest for them - and which makes perfectly good taxonomic sense anyway so it doesn't matter. The two subspecies of Aardwolves may be distinct enough to be split into full species. See High-quality carnivoran genomes from roadkill samples enable comparative species delineation in aardwolf and bat-eared fox | eLife
The taxonomy, with some alterations here and there was largely based off Zootierliste's taxonomy - as @Chlidonias has said, I was not aiming for scrupulous taxonomy - as it is simply a list of species of mammal I have photographed. As for the aardwolves, I have seen the paper and am of the opinion that the aardwolves do constitute 2 species in number - though I have formatted the Eastern Aardwolf as so the original species name is in brackets. I have also done the same with the two [sub]species of oncilla.
