FAUNA AND FLORA OF PERU
FLORA.
The vegetation is quite diverse. On the coast there is the presence of vegetation bordering the seasonal months of rainfall, such as hills Atiquipa in Arequipa, and the hills of Lachay Pachacamac near to Lima. Other areas of vegetation constitute the valley, this adds to the forest partnership sapote and Algarrobo (Piura and Tumbes).
While the Peruvian Sea noted for its production of croaker, flounder, anchovy, bonito, shellfish and seafood. It also has sharks, whales and sperm whales.
The saw reporting the presence of weeds, cactus and small plants resistant to drought, ie puna vegetation, being the most representative ichu, which extends into the snowy area.
The vegetation of the forest is represented by tropical forests, where alternate trees or wood resins useful in the presence of palms and orchids plants. We also describe of the plants in the jungle.
FAUNA
The fauna is represented by Peruvian indigenous animals that are on the verge of extinction, despite the measures being implemented. The coast is poor in species, including deer, iguana, skunk and the giant turtle. Rivers recorded fish diversity, with abundant shrimp. The mountains are characterized by the presence of alpaca and vicuna, whose economic utility is the supply of wool and meat. Similarly in this region are deer, chinchillas and vizcacha. In lakes are birds such as gulls, marijuana, and Patillos divers.
The birds have an economic importance that the guano deposited on the coast, having given rise to deposits of guano are used as fertilizer in agriculture.
The forest has a diverse fauna, as to see mammals, reptiles in the rivers it is possible to fish and turtles, alligators, and also describe of the fauna of the jungle.
