Wildlife
Saltwater crocodile
Despite the country's small size, Brunei has great wildlife diversity and density. The small country is home to monkeys, elephants, orangutans, leopards, and dozens of rodents like the squirrel. Among the sea life, most animals live in the country's swamps or in the nearby sea. This diversity is huge in the open waters and includes tuna, mackerel, marlin, barracuda, crab, prawn, and sharks. This diversity is even greater surrounding the coral reefs just off the coast.
The bird life is fairly dependent on either the water or the forests in Brunei so there are numerous water fowls and woodland birds; these birds include kingfishers, eagles, storks, and woodpeckers. The reptilian and amphibian life is impressive for a small country and includes turtles, crocodiles, and lizards among many others.
