The Animals of Israel

Israel may be small on the map, but in the world of wildlife, it’s a giant. Resting at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe, this land bridges continents - and with them, their creatures. Within just a few hours’ drive, the scenery shifts from sun-baked desert dunes to green forests, from cool mountain slopes to coral-rich seas.

This incredible variety of landscapes gives rise to an astonishing range of life, flourishing in this haven of nature around a region where nature protection is virtually non-existent.

Here, roam graceful gazelles and secretive wolves, Beautiful migratory birds soaring overhead, colorful reef fish dancing below the waves, and even rare desert dwellers that survive where almost nothing else can.

Welcome to a journey through Israel’s living mosaic.
