Mountains, chotts, wetlands, and grassy desert-like regions all support a wide range of wildlife.
The most commonly seen animals include the wild boars, jackals, and gazelles, although it is not uncommon to spot fennecs and jerboas.
In the north, the native flora includes the Algerian oak, Atlas cedar, and other conifers.
Acacia with wild olives are the predominant flora in the remainder of the Sahara.
One of the species listed for Algeria is extinct and one can no longer be found in the wild.
