Conservation status codes listed follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Range maps are provided where possible; if unavailable, a description of the species will instead be provided. All extinct species and subspecies listed alongside extant species are indicated by dagger symbol "†". Population figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.

Classification

[edit]

The family Manidae is composed of eight extant species belonging to three genera in three subfamilies and divided into dozens of extant subspecies. This does not include extinct species or hybrid animals.
