  • The fauna of Toronto include a variety of different species situated within the city limits. Toronto contains a mosaic of ecosystems that includes forests, rivers, streams, and wetlands, which allows it to support a large variety of fauna. Approximately 90 per cent of animals that inhabit the city reside within the Toronto ravine system, including its creeks and rivers. However, several animals have adapted to live within Toronto's urban environment, and reside within its urban landscape and urban parks. The City of Toronto reports there are 24 species of amphibians and reptiles and 38 species of mammals that inhabit the city. The city has also recorded over 410 bird species and over 100 species of fish within the Greater Toronto Area. A large number of insect genera are also found in Toronto. Toronto was also in the historic ranges of several mammal species, although the city's urban growth in the 19th century and early 20th century led to these species' natural range to recede beyond the city limits.
