@Tcoat Do Bats count?
What about wallabies? (Yes we have them in the wild. Don't ask)
I'm also assuming only land mammals. XD

Well there we go then!
"Whereas the mainland hoary bat (A. cinereus) is found throughout North America, the Hawaiian hoary bat is distributed only among the major volcanic islands of Hawaiʻi, making it the only extant and native terrestrial mammal in the state"

Why did they exclude the extraterrestrial mammals?

Well since they are "extra" they obviously just keep them around for spares.

Til about Foley artists.

"In filmmaking, Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality. These reproduced sounds, named after sound-effects artist Jack Foley, can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass. Foley sounds are used to enhance the auditory experience of the movie. Foley can also be used to cover up unwanted sounds captured on the set of a movie during filming, such as overflying airplanes or passing traffic.

Places where the Foley process takes place are often referred to as a Foley stage or Foley studio. Foley artists recreate the realistic ambient sounds that the film portrays. The props and sets of a film often do not react the same way acoustically as their real life counterparts, requiring filmmakers to Foley the sounds. The best Foley art is so well integrated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the audience. It helps to create a sense of reality within a scene. Without these crucial background noises, movies feel unnaturally quiet and uncomfortable. "

The other day I learned that the spaghetti western movies were 100% shot with no sound at all. All dialogue, music, and sound was added post production.
