Bhutan & Nepal Wildlife Guide
Bhutan is home to more than 770 species of birds, 200 species of mammals (including the takin, Bhutan's national animal), and 5,500 species of plants. While in other parts of the Himalayas the destruction of forests and loss of habitats have severely reduced wildlife populations, Bhutan harbors many endangered species, mainly due to the intact forests and the fact that this small country stretches from the subtropics in the south to the perennially frozen regions in the north.
