Algeria is an Arab country in the Maghreb region of Africa.

Algeria is located in Northern Africa, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between

Morocco and Tunisia

The varied vegetation of Algeria includes coastal, mountainous and grassy desert-
like regions which all support a wide range of wildlife. Many of the creatures
comprising the Algerian wildlife live in close proximity to civilization. The most
commonly seen animals include the wild boars, jackals, and gazelles although it is
not uncommon to spot fennecs (foxes) and jerboas. Algeria also has a
few panther, leopard and cheetah populations but these are seldom seen.








Natural vegetation patterns generally follow the countrys north-south
climatic gradient, and elevation produces additional variations. All
vegetation in Algeria, where all areas are subject to some seasonal aridity, is
characteristically drought-resistant. Forests cover only about 2 percent of
the entire land area and are found primarily in the less-accessible mountain
regions, where remnants of evergreen forests remain on the moister slopes.
