Of the 168 Nameer (2000), and systematc review done by Ellerman species of mammals (136 terrestrial and 32 marine) & Morrison-Scot (1951), Prater (1971), Corbet & Hill provided by Sathasivam (1996, 1998), there are 29 (1992), Menon (2003, 2014), and Johnsingh & Manjrekar species neither found in Tamil Nadu nor in Kerala, and (2013, 2015). Notably, the Mammal Survey of India 12 species found only in Kerala, but not in Tamil Nadu of Bombay Natural History Society conducted the (Table 1).
