Wildlife of Israel

Animals of Israel
Flowers of Israel

The wildlife of Israel includes the flora and fauna of Israel, which is extremely diverse due to the country's location between the temperate and the tropical zones, bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the west and the desert in the east. Species such as the Syrian brown bear and the Arabian ostrich have become extinct in Israel because of their loss of habitat.[1] As of May 2007, 190 nature reserves have been established in Israel.[2]
