Wildlife

Saltwater crocodile
Despite the country's small size, Brunei has great wildlife
diversity and density. The small country is home to monkeys, elephants, orangutans,
leopards, and dozens of rodents like the squirrel. Among the sea life, most animals
live in the country's swamps or in the nearby sea. This diversity is huge in
the open waters and includes tuna, mackerel, marlin, barracuda, crab, prawn, and
sharks. This diversity is even greater surrounding the coral reefs just off the
coast.
The bird life is fairly dependent on either the water or the forests in
Brunei so there are numerous water fowls and woodland birds; these birds
include kingfishers, eagles, storks, and woodpeckers. The reptilian and amphibian
life is impressive for a small country and includes turtles, crocodiles, and lizards
among many others.
