Wetland Wildlife
Neighboring the Moulay Bousselham lagoon is a large wetland area, recently given a protected wildlife status, known as Merdja Zerga. This open unproductive space is used for grazing by wandering herds of sheep, cattle and goats, while around the margin are lines of dwarf palm and the giant succulent agave. This variety of habitat, and the huge extent of the site, ensures satisfying bird watching all year round. There are large numbers of waders, including a large colony of flamingoes, plus little ringed plovers, black-winged stilts and black tailed godwits.

Cedar Forest Wildlife
The cedar forest which lies to the south of Azrou is a unique habitat in Morocco; it has a luxuriant atmosphere and is surrounded by the Middle Atlas range. The cedar forest shelters many troupes of Barbary apes, which is one of the wildlife highlights in Morocco. They can be found feeding along the forest margins, they are shy animals and any excessive intrusion will send them directly to the utmost top of the branches of the cedar forest.

High Atlas Wildlife

The High Atlas has unique fauna and flora, which are accessible even to the most unenthusiastic hiker if you base yourself at Oukaimeden, Imlil or Ouirgane. Butterflies which brave these heights include the Moroccan copper and desert orange tip. Other inhabitants range from the almost invisible praying mantis to the scampering ground squirrel and the rare elephant shrew.
