The National Park of Gran Sasso-Laga
Fauna

The National Park of Gran Sasso and of the Monti della Laga offers an extremely valuable patrimony of fauna and vegetation.
The fauna is rather varied and is represented by uncommon species, such as the Apennine Wolf, the Wild Cat, and wild boars, squirrels, foxes, all quite widespread; more unusual are the Chamois, only lately brought back in the area. Among the predatory birds we point out the buzzard, the peregrine, the sparrowhawk and the Golden eagle; among the wood birds: the great spotted woodpecker, the woodpigeon, the short toed treecreeper; among the rocky species: the alpine chough, the chough, the wallcreeper; in the heights, the alpine accentor and the water and rock pipits.
The amphibians are also common with three species of newt, the paddled salamander and the Italian new.
