Numerous species of birds, including several sedentary species, of step and nesting (red heron, mallard, marsh hawk), as well as a strong presence of fallow deer and wild boar and other smaller mammals such as foxes, porcupines, dormice, badgers and squirrels.
The flora of the park includes some rarities such as the drosera (a small carnivorous plant), the Greek periploca (a rare liana), the marsh orchid, the pink hibiscus and the florid fern.
