Wildlife
Oryx
Yemen is quite mountainous, dry, and deserted so the wildlife is limited in scope. Among the mammals in the country are oryx, gazelles, wolves, mongooses, goats, and more, primarily smaller mammals like rodents. The sea life inland is very limited as there are few lakes or rivers in Yemen, however just off the long coasts are thousands of species. These waters include nearly every type of fish from large sharks and tuna to corals, shellfish, and sardines.
The bird life is very impressive during the right seasons as many birds migrate from East Africa to Asia and Europe through the country. These birds include ostriches, grebes, pelicans, cormorants, flamingos, hawks, eagles, and more. There are few amphibians due to the dry climate, but reptiles live well here and include lizards, snakes, and sea turtles. There are also a number of insects and other animals, like scorpions present.
