The fauna and flora

Wildlife WildlifeMost of the surface of Mauritania is covered by desert; the dromedary is therefore one of the most common animals in the area. © Yolaine Cuxac

The Mauritanian climate, hot and dry, is not very favourable to living form development. Some animal and plant species have nevertheless managed to adapt to these arid conditions. All the water bordering the country is however very rich in fish, some of the world's richest.
