Despite the large scale forest clearance large mammals still remain in the ecoregion including leopard and their prey such as chinkara (Gazella bennettii) and the threatened species chousingha (Tetracerus quadricornis), and blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra). The scrubland is also home to another large cat, the caracal, which preys on mice, birds, and reptiles. There are two endemic mammals, both bats: Triaenops persicus and the Small Mouse-tailed Bat (Rhinopoma muscatellum)
There are more than 400 species of birds in the region including the endemics Rufous-vented Prinia (Prinia burnesii), the near-endemic White-winged Tit (Parus nuchalis) and the threatened Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) and Lesser Florican (Eupodotis indica).
==Threats and preservation== Over 90% of the ecoregion has been converted to human use, and the remaining habitat is highly fragmented. There are many protected areas but they are very small and unconnected and even these are liable to invasion for firewood collecting and clearance for planting. However the traditions of the Bishnoi community based in this region extend protection to some wildlife, especially the blackbuck and the tree.

There are many species of fynbos, a unique floral kingdom of about 9000 species in total found nowhere else on the planet. Fynbos comprises Restionaceae, Proteaceae and Ericaceae primarily but also includes much of Asteraceae and many geophytes.
Disa uniflora is an orchid of Table Mountain worth noting as is the Table Mountain Pride Butterfly. From Proteaceae, Leucadendron argenteum is a tree found ONLY on Table Mountain and very few surrounding hills with bright silver leaves and sexes differentiated between different plants. Porcupines, caracals and babboons are the largest mammals I suspect would venture through the fynbos of Table Mountain.
Birds include Cape francolin/spurfowl, Orange breasted sunbird, the chaffinch which is nonindigenous to the area, Helmeted guineafowl, Spotted/Karroo Prinia, Cape white-eye and many others.

Yes, many bird species live in tropical climates due to the abundance of food, water, and suitable habitats. Tropical regions provide a diverse range of ecosystems that support a wide variety of bird species with different adaptations to thrive in these environments.
