Carpathian Mountains
Regional division of the Carpathian Mountains (top) and a geologic cross section of the Western Carpathians (bottom). The location of the cross section is shown by the line N–S on the map.
In the Carpathian Mountains, bears, wolves, lynx, deer, and boars are especially found in the eastern part of the range, where forests have been best preserved.1
Additionally, these species are found within protected areas such as the Tatry National Park in Slovakia, which shelters a diverse collection of wildlife. While these animals inhabit the broader forest regions of the Carpathians, the highest parts of the mountains—specifically the Tatras—are also home to chamois and marmots.21
