Cantabrian brown bears and wolves live in the remoter regions. Rebeccos are fairly frequently
seen; Choughs and Buzzards are common, various eagles and vultures are frequently seen, and there is a diverse butterfly population in the
park.Most of the region is now protected as a single

first National Park.
