The tiger, hyena, and jackal still exist in southern Nepal, although in decreasing numbers. Rhesus monkeys and a variety of other small jungle mammals and rodents are common. Elephants, rhinos, crocodiles, and at middle altitudes the black bear can be found along with several species of cats, squirrel, hare, deer, and antelope. Higher in the mountains exist wild sheep and goats, marmots, and a species of tailless mouse. Within less than one percent of the world's land mass, Nepal contains ten percent of all its birds. |
