"Monfragüe host one of the world's most numerous contingents of tawny and black vultures".
The fauna that crawls, leap, walks and runs through Monfragüe is often practically invisible. For this reason, the park can rarely show evidence of the fact that it is the great domicile of animals of considerable size. Luckily, however, we have the birds above, which are not only very numerous but also outstanding by virtue of their dimensions. Because the skies of Monfragüe are furrowed daily by many hundreds of vultures and dozens of other birds of pray. The quartize shelves accomodate one of the largest colonies of tawny vultures, while at least two hundred pairs of black vultures have made the treetops their homes. However, Monfragüe is also the hostel for a substantial guest population of imperial eagles, black storks, Egyptian vultures, european

However, Monfragüe is also the hostel for a substantial guest population of imperial eagles, black storks, Egyptian vultures, european short-toed eagles, black kities, buzzards, goshawks and sparrow hawks.
Consequently, alongside the rock-dwelling species, large forest fowl are also well represented here.
Oustanding among the mamals are undoubtedly the deer, which have nurtured a centuries-old hunting tradition. although many other species are concealed beneath the thick undergrowth: wild boars, foxes, meloncitos (a variety of mongoose and lynxes). and leading the mammals, almost all the members of the Mustelidae genus are represented here.
The natural reserve of Monfragüe is recognised with relief by all as having been saved in time, unlike so many other places on the planet thathave been irremediably lost. Furthermore, many of the emblematic zoological species living here have undergone a notable increase since the area has been protected.
