As far as wildlife goes, there is nothing much to show for this little country, which is hardly two kilometres square in area. Since it borders France and is along the Mediterranean coastline, it is rich in sea life and have put all efforts to conserve the creatures of the sea. But, there are still some land mammals, that have made this country their home, though they do not originate from here. They are the Roe Deer, the Least Weasel, and the Cross Fox.<\/p>\n

Since Monaco is along the coastline, there are some sea animals too that can be seen there. There is the Atlantic dolphin, which is commonly found everywhere and then there is the striped dolphin that can found in the sea there. Since, the Principality takes the conservation work very seriously, the striped dolphin, is listed as one of the sea animals, which needs to be conserved, as it is not every day that you find a striped dolphin.<\/p>\n

The Principality of Monaco, will definitely take you by surprise for all its grandeur and luxurious lifestyle. That extends to the wildlife too. There are three animals that are the pride of this principality, each unique and some may call it even a \u2018weird\u2019 choice. The Monaco National Animals are the hedgehog, the rabbit and wood mouse. Now, this is what we call as \u2018going big\u2019!<\/p>\n

This is located in the Fontvieille ward. The zoo, is still very young, and was started only in 1954. The zoo houses 250 animals and about 50 species. Be it the birds, the turtles or the other usual animals \u2013 this zoo is a great place to hang around when you have kids. What is interesting though is that the animals that you will see here, are not purchased like they do everywhere else. They were all either donated, just left to fend for themselves or captured by the customs.<\/p>\n
