The harsh conditions of the desert wilderness, which covers most of the country, allow only a few of nature's most adaptable creatures to survive. Fauna in Jordan consists mainly of insects, lizards, and small mammals. However, a number of larger mammals can be found in the desert region, including the Asiatic jackal, desert fox, striped hyena, wolf, camel, rabbit and sand rat. The white oryx, which was hunted almost to extinction, lives on the open plains, while the mountain ibex is at home among rocky, mountainous crags. Both of these two species are relatively rare.
