Afghanistan Wild Life!

[Lemar]

I know we have members from all provinces here and I would like to know about what kind of animals do we have in that particular province?
I am an animal lover and any kind of info or picture would be really appreciated.
Thanks

This is what I know

There are snow leopards, wild sheep (don't know the proper name), wild camels (with two humps), bears, deers, yaks and wolves in Kunar, Laghman, Nuristan, Badakhshan, Wakhan and other cold mountainous places.

There are many types of birds.

No monkey species live in Afghanistan.

and Bande Amir is Afghanistan's only national park.

Hey thanks wrora,
I know about snow leopards, the marcopolo sheeps that we have in those mountains.
those camels are called Bactrian camels, I am glad we have them in its homeland.
are you sure about Yaks?
thats awesome thanks for the info bro
I think there are some monkey species living in Laghman?

[Da_Kunar_Ghro]

Im sure about yaks i've seen (and eaten) them in Wakhan, Pamir. Most are wild but Kyrgyz and Wakhi people also keep them as livestock. There used to be cheetahs and tigers in lowland Afghanistan before the 20th century. If there are monkeys in Afghanistan they're probably rhesus monkeys.

Thanks Admin khan
so i have heard rumors about a lion shot dead in Kunar by US forces? anyone know that?
I dont think we have lions that could live in a mountinous area like Kunar and noristan.
maybe it was a mountain lion.
