What types of wildlife can be found in Mallorca besides snakes?

Mallorca, part of the Balearic Islands in Spain, boasts a diverse range of wildlife beyond snakes. One of the island's most notable inhabitants is the Balearic lizard (Podarcis lilfordi), a species endemic to the region that can be found in various habitats, from coastal areas to rocky outcrops. The island is also home to a variety of bird species, including the endangered Balearic shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus) and the Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae), which migrates through Mallorca during specific seasons.

In terms of mammalian wildlife, Mallorca hosts species such as the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and the feral cat, which have adapted well to the island's environment. Its coastal ecosystems support rich marine life, including various fish species and marine invertebrates. Additionally, the Mediterranean vegetation provides habitats for numerous insects, butterflies, and endemic plant species. Despite being a popular tourist destination, conservation efforts are in place to protect Mallorca's unique biodiversity and its habitats from urban development and environmental threats.
