Which mammal is alphabetically last?

[skullturfq]

I follow Scrabble on Facebook, and in my news feed I saw the following question:

"Aardvark" is alphabetically first among words in the official Scrabble dictionary that are names of mammals. Which mammal in the dictionary is alphabetically last?

In fact, I don't know the correct answer without looking it up. There are some obscure and not-so-obscure mammals whose names start with Z, and I thought people here might find it interesting to try to think of alphabetically "late" mammals that appear in certain dictionaries.

Well I know it's not zebra, as I can think of one that comes after (relatively well-known among the types that would frequent this forum, I'd think), but I'm not certain that's the last one.

EDIT: Do hybrids count?

I'm guessing Zebu is the last mammal. I think that the last animal is a beetle.

I'm like a rainman when it comes to animals, and the latest in the alphabet I can think of is a skunk-like animal called a zoril.

Zorse comes later, if hybrids can be used.

Apparently

"zorse" does not appear in Merriam-Webster's Official SCRABBLE® Players Dictionary, 4th Edition.

So perhaps "zoril" is the champion. It apparently also has some alternate spellings such as "zorilla" and "zorille" which technically would come later in the alphabet.

zorilla

Now THERE's a hybrid.

Zorro - a desert fox

So cunning and free.

Wonderful question! I guess Zebu is the last mammal.

Not even close - Zorilla ( a mustellid) and Zorro (a canid) both beat it
