There are over 320 species of mammals in Ecuador, of which 25 are endemic. In Ecuador lives an uncountable diversity of rodents and bats, 3 species of tapirs (one of them is the biggest land mammal in South America), 3 different species of anteaters, as well as spectacled bears, pumas, jaguars, ocelots, bausons, stoats, wolves, foxes, armadillos, sea lions, whale sharks or the pink-colored river dolphins.
