Fauna or animal world refers to the totality of all animals in an area or, in the narrower sense, all animal species in this area. The associated science is biogeography.
If the entire planet Earth is considered, the fauna includes all animal species, for example in palaeontology, where one speaks of a “fauna of the Cretaceous period”. The name is derived from the name of the Roman goddess of nature, Fauna. The equivalent of fauna in the plant kingdom is flora.
To find and photograph some of the ancient ruins along the road from Manavgat to Side was our aim, when we notice a Chameleon trying to pass the road. Thanks to their typical movement of walking, which does not really show too much of effect of reaching other side of the road, we quickly stopped for help.
