The destruction of France's native woodlands led to a sharp decline of native animals, a process that continues to the present day. Few specimens of the larger mammals remain in France; the most common of these include species of deer and fox. Red deer and roe deer are still hunted, as are wild boar, which survive in remote forest areas. The rare chamois, a type of goat, is found in the Alps and in the Pyrenees. Among the smaller animals found in the region are porcupines, skunks, marmots, and martens. Endangered species include beavers, otters, and badgers. A small population of brown bears and lynx survive high in the Pyrenees.
France has an abundance of bird life. Many species of migrating birds, including ducks, geese, and thrushes, spend their winters in France. The Mediterranean region is home to various exotic bird species, including flamingos, bee-eaters, egrets, herons, and black-winged stilts. Reptiles are rare, and the only venomous reptile in France is the adder.
