Which animals live in the lower Apennine region of Italy?

The Apennine range is home to a variety of indigenous wildlife, though many species are now primarily preserved within protected areas such as the Abruzzo National Park and Sila Park.1

Animals found in the Apennine region include:

• Mammals: The brown "Marsicano" bear, the wolf, the chamois, and the wild boar.1
• Insects: The range hosts several species of insects that are found exclusively within the Apennines.1

While the Apennine fauna has been relatively little studied compared to other regions, these species represent the core of the indigenous wildlife currently protected within the range's natural reserves.12
