Faunengebiete#

Faunal Regions: Thanks to its geographical location, Austria is one of the most varied countries in Europe as far as animal species are concerned. Austria has many kinds of faunal regions: the Pannonian faunal region (in North Burgenland around Lake Neusiedler See and in the Vienna basin), the Alpine Fauna region, the Mediterranean faunal region (which includes the wall lizard and the rock swallow which are very common), the Baltic faunal region (found throughout Austria with the exception of the Pannonian and alpine regions).
