More than 100 bird species have been recorded, one third of which are permanent residents of the National Park. The most important of them, as priority species, are the birds of prey\u00a0Circaetus gallicus<\/em>\u00a0(Short-Toed Snake Eagle),\u00a0Falco biarmicus<\/em>\u00a0(Lanner Falcon) and\u00a0Pernis apivorus<\/em>\u00a0(European Honey Buzzard), as well as\u00a0Alectoris graeca<\/em>\u00a0(Rock Partridge – Fig. 1) and\u00a0Emberiza caesia<\/em>\u00a0(Cretzschmar Bunting). Other birds to be encountered are:\u00a0Buteo buteo<\/em>\u00a0(Common Buzzard),\u00a0Falco tinnunculus<\/em>\u00a0(Common Kestrel),\u00a0Athene noctua<\/em>\u00a0(Little Owl),\u00a0Garullus glandarius<\/em>\u00a0(Eurasian Jay),\u00a0Caprimulgus europaeus<\/em>\u00a0(Eurasian Nightjar),\u00a0Upupa epops<\/em>\u00a0(Eurasian Hoopoe),\u00a0Accipiter gentilis<\/em>\u00a0(Northerh hawk-Fig. 1),\u00a0Turdus sp.<\/em>\u00a0(Thrush species),\u00a0Periparus ater<\/em>\u00a0(Coal Tit) etc. The presence of very important species, like\u00a0Gyps fulvus<\/em>\u00a0(Griffon Vulture) and\u00a0Dryocopus martius<\/em>\u00a0(Black Woodpecker) is rather doubtful today.<\/p>\n

Amphivians & Reptiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the lack of the necessary humidity requirements, amphibians are not to notice in the National, perhaps with the exception of Bufo bufo (Common Toad). The reptiles to be found in the National Park during a visit are:\u00a0Algyroides nigropunctatus<\/em>\u00a0subsp.\u00a0kephallithacius<\/em>, endemic of Cephalonia and Ithaca,\u00a0Algyroides moreoticus<\/em>\u00a0(Greek Algyroides – Fig. 2), an Ionian and Peloponnesus endemic,\u00a0Podarcis taurica<\/em>\u00a0subsp.\u00a0ionica\u00a0<\/em>(Balkan Wall Lizard), a Balkan endemic,\u00a0Vipera ammodytes<\/em>\u00a0(Viper) etc.<\/p>\n

Mammals<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mammalian species that inhabit the National Park, are typical forest ecosystem species: Erinaceus roumanicus (Hedgehog), Apodemus sp. (feral Mice),\u00a0Myoxus glis<\/em>\u00a0(Edible Dormouse),\u00a0Rhinolophus sp<\/em>. (Bats – Fig. 3),\u00a0Martes foina<\/em>\u00a0(Stone Marten) etc. It is also likely to come across individuals of\u00a0Lepus europaeus<\/em>\u00a0(Hares). One of the most peculiar mammals of Mt. Ainos is the insectivore\u00a0Talpa stankovici<\/em>\u00a0(Mole – Fig. 3), which lives underground in an extensive network of burrows. It reveals its presence by surface soil mounds.<\/p>\n

The National Park lacks large-bodied mammals. An important exception to this is the small herd of relatively short horses, Equus caballus (Fig. 3) that lives freely in semi-wild condition in the wider area of the Monastery of Zoodohos Pigi in the SE slopes of Mt. Ainos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
