. There are 128 mammal species in [[Afghanistan]], of which 0 are critically endangered, 4 are endangered, 12 are vulnerable, and 5 are near-threatened.<ref>This list is derived from the [[IUCN Red List]] which lists species of mammals and includes those mammals that have recently been classified as extinct (since 1500 AD). The taxonomy and naming of the individual species is based on those used in existing Wikipedia articles as of 21 May 2007 and supplemented by the common names and taxonomy from the IUCN, Smithsonian Institute, or University of Michigan where no Wikipedia article was available.
Some species were assessed using an earlier set of criteria. Species assessed using this system have the following instead of Near Threatened and Least Concern categories:
Subclass Theria
Infraclass: Eutheria

s, monkey s, and ape s, with the latter category including [[humans]]. It is divided informally into three main groupings: prosimian s, monkeys of the New World monkey|New World , and monkeys and apes of the Catarrhini|Old World .
