In prehistoric days, Egypt’s climate was cooler and wetter. At that time, giraffes, hippos, and ostriches roamed the land. But things changed and those species moved south and west. In fact, very few animals endemic to Egypt still live there. Native species that stayed put include the Egyptian weasel, pale gerbil, Mackilligin’s gerbil, Flower’s shrew, and the Nile Delta toad.
Animals commonly found in Egypt include Ruppell’s fox - aka the desert fox - the Lesser Egyptian jeroba, spotted sandgrouse, and the white-crowned wheatear.
