At the very top, specimens of the Greek frog were found, and in the lower areas, a large number of forest tortoises. In the wider area, 67 species of birds have been registered, and those of national and international importance are: black stork, turtledove, Syrian woodpecker, black woodpecker, honey buzzard, middle-spotted woodpecker, peregrine falcon, red-backed shrike, wood lark, common white and ortolan bunting.
