Answer:
With its position on a major migration route, and the existence of such varied terrain with a small area, Armenia has a surprisingly diverse wildlife. 346 species of birds have been officially recorded there out of 550 for the whole of Europe. These include the Caspian Snowcock, Radde's Accentor, Finch's Wheatear, Armenian Gull, Caucasian Black Grouse, Red-fronted Serin and White-talied Lapwing.
For the biologist, Armenia is heaven for exploration. It varies from dry semi-desert species of flowers and insects to typical temperate forest inhabitants like bears and wolves. There are 3000 species of plants in Armenia.
