ANIMALS IN AZERBAIJAN
The Red Book of the Azerbaijan Republic includes 108 species of animals,
including 14 species of mammals, 36 species of birds, 13 species of reptiles and
amphibians, 5 species of birds and 40 species of insects.
The natural habitat of various types of animals is very different within the
country. Some species populate special restricted areas (lakes, parts of
mountainous areas) while others are spread throughout the country. For example,
passerines can be found anywhere in the territory of Azerbaijan.
The country's fresh water basins and the Caspian Sea account for 30 species
of fish. The most valuable of anadromous fish are salmon, sturgeon, stellate
sturgeon and beluga. Aspius, Chalcalburnus and eel are also anadromous fish.

others.
