What the numbers mean

A threatened-species total can be high because a country contains many mammal species in the first place. It is not the percentage of mammals threatened. The source excludes whales and porpoises. We use the 2018 observation because the 2022 data tie Colombia and Vietnam at the ten-answer boundary; choosing just one would make a valid answer unfairly wrong.

Where the top ten ends

The tenth entry is Colombia at 58.00. This is a cutoff within the published comparison, not evidence that countries outside the table have no activity. The date and coverage are part of the answer: updating the source or changing the eligible territories can change who appears.
