West African manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, crocodiles, alligator, many fish species, terrestrial and water bird species.

The red-capped mangabey was reported to be common in the reserve in 1972.

The endangered red-eared nose-spotted guenon was reported in the Lombé part of the reserve in densities of 2–3 groups per square kilometers, but populations had dropped elsewhere due to hunting.

Animals in the reserve are poorly protected and poaching is widespread.

Central chimpanzees in the reserve are threatened by hunters.
