Changes

Four of the lemur species found on Masoala are recorded as most endangered primates in the Red List of the [http://www.iucn.org International Union for Conservation of Nature]:<br><br>

<td>The rainforest of Masoala is one of the rare places where this species can be found.</td></tr></table><br> === Carnivores ===Seven species of the Viverridae familiy were identified in Masoala. They are all endemic to Madagascar, except the ''Viverricula indica'' (''Small Indian civet''). Since the 1970s, Masoala is the only place where the ''Salanoia concolorb'' ([[Brown-tailed mongoose]]) was sighted. This species is the least known of Madagascar's carnivores. The already rare two carnivores ''Cryptoprocta ferox'' ([[Fossa]]) and ''Eupleres goudotii'' ([[Falanouc]]) suffer under the high predation pressure of the primary forest by the local population.<br><br> === Rodents === The forests of Masoala are also rich or even richer in rodents than other forests of the eastern slopes of Madagascar. Nine rodent species have been inventoried so far in the Masoala National Park. The introduced and invasive species ''Rattus rattus'' ([[Black Rat]]) was currently found in three locations: Andranobe, Ambohitsitondroina and Ambery. ''Nesomys audeberti'' ([[White-bellied nesomys]]) is known only to Masoala where this species is relatively common yet.
