In the countryside and mountains in the north of the country, sheep, maggot monkeys are found in the Chiffa Gorge (south of Algiers), goats, horses, hares, foxes and even wild boars. Looking up to the sky, we can see the ball of migratory birds that move south in the winter (starlings, storks, etc.). Further south, we meet gazelles, fennecs, some striped hyenas, small desert rodents (gerboises, gerbils …), some scorpions and of course camels. Lions, ostriches and other crocodiles have left the country for more than a century.
