Chapter 34: Basic Phrases & Vocabulary: Food, Drinks, Plants,<br />
Fruit, Trees and Animals<br />
Cyprus comparatively with other islands around the world is quite small however Cyprus boasts a vast biodiversity of fauna and flora<br />
because of its varrying climate regions raging from the relatively wet and sunny western and mountaineous regions of Cyprus to the drier<br />
and sun-scorched regions in the east. This has created distinct regions within this small islands that are affected by different climatic<br />
conditions. In the same way its topography, with its Troodos and Pentadaktylos mountains and the Karpasia peninsula, has created rather<br />
isolated regions which benefited in the creation of numerous indegenous plants and animals raging from Cypriot vultures in the Northwestern<br />
regions to midget donkeys along the Karpasia peninsula and camels in the southeast; from drought resistant plants and trees in<br />
the eastern regions to dense pine tree forests on troodos mountain.<br />
