Wildlife of the Republic of the Congo

The wildlife of the Republic of the Congo is a mix of species of different kinds of organisms.

[1] Many parts of the country are covered in tropical rainforest, although some of the southern areas have been cleared by logging.

The wider Congo River Basin has earned a global reputation for the variety of wildlife found inside its forests.

The forest is split into several sections, the first being low lying branches of large evergreen trees.

The floor of this region consists of mainly ferns, vines, and roots that twist and turn throughout different vegetation.
