This is used often when referring to endangered species. Endemic meaning: special, native, unique, or distinct to and also prevalent or peculiar to a specific area, locality or region. While of course mammals, are animals, warm blooded, furred, and usually nurse young with milk. This is a simplified definition, but it is only a complicated term by the way it is used. Usually it is used when discussing the populations of a specific area. You would be referencing the mammals that are unique or distinctive to say, Africa not other animals that might have been moved to, or transported to Africa. So when someone uses this term they are referring to mammals that belong, or are unique to a specific area.
