About Animalpedia
Animalpedia is TunisieVet’s animal encyclopedia: a collection of species profiles written to be read by anyone, from the merely curious to pet owners. Each profile brings together the common and scientific names, physical characteristics, habitat and range, diet, behaviour, reproduction and conservation status.
To find a species, search by common or scientific name, or browse profiles by class — mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, insects — and by habitat, from desert to wetlands. Domestic and companion animals sit alongside wildlife.
Special attention goes to the animals of Tunisia: 304 species found in the country are documented, with the regions where they can be observed and their protection status. Profiles also link to the diseases affecting each species and, where useful, to the vets who treat them.
Frequently asked questions
What is an animal encyclopedia?
It is a set of profiles, each describing one animal species: what it looks like, where it lives, what it eats, how it behaves and reproduces, and whether it is threatened. TunisieVet’s Animalpedia follows this principle, with particular attention to wildlife found in Tunisia.
How many species does Animalpedia contain?
The encyclopedia currently holds 625 species profiles, 304 of which are found in Tunisia. New profiles are published regularly.
How do I find an animal’s profile?
Three routes lead to a profile: searching by common or scientific name, browsing by animal class, and browsing by habitat. Each profile then suggests related species.
Which animals are found in Tunisia?
Tunisian wildlife ranges from Saharan species — fennec, dorcas gazelle, desert monitor — to the birds of the Ichkeul wetlands, alongside farm and companion animals. The “Animals of Tunisia” page groups them by environment, with their protection status.
