FR-NZ Fauna

Fauna can be defined as all animal life within a particular region. The term can also be used for all animal life at a particular time, and therefore includes not only native, but also imported and invasive species. Although some of the animals depicted here may not be indigenous to the countries in which they were seen, they were all found and painted in those countries.
