Introduction

The plants and animals of Balúrail are adapted to its long, cold winters and, in the Western Lowlands, to waterlogged ground. The lowlands are dominated by peat bogs, swamps and light forest, and the Eastern Highlands by boreal forest on the foothills of the Mazissage Mountains. This page lists some of the more distinctive plants and animals of the region.
