The wildlife of Dalanya is rich and varied and contributes to the wealth of the land. Several kinds of deer and gazelle, all individual grazers, not herd animals, live in the hills and mountains, providing a good source of game. Wild onager, goats, and cattle roam free in the lower hills and in the river valleys, again a good source of game. The domesticated cattle and asses kept by the Baltazim and Agrazhim are closely related. Several species of rodents, including hare and the mountain Cardeen, a small guinea pig-like animal, are found throughout the area. Natural predators include the mountain grey cat, called the Breel (for the sound of its yowl) by both the Agrazhim and Baltazim, and the mountain wolf, actually a coyote-sized wild dog. Domesticated animals include goats, sheep, cattle, asses, and dogs. Both horses and camels are used for transportation, though neither play a large role in any of the local native societies. Dogs are bred as flock guardians and are usually quite large. The Baltazim regard Turazimdogs very highly and will pay exorbitant amounts for a Turazim-bred puppy. The Kufa clan of the Agrazhim breeds beautiful songbirds called Kufana. The Kufana are closely related to local wild birds but have been bred domestically long enough to be a distinct species. Prized for both the beauty of their plumage and their singing, Kufana are often found in the homes of the wealthier Baltazim as well as of the Azeryani. In the early 5th Century they enjoyed a brief fad in several of the cities of the Azeryan peninsula and were a major Dalanyan export.
