Many of the characteristic [[Audonia]]n species—large mammals such as the {{wp|elephant}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|giraffe}}, {{wp|zebra}}, and {{wp|antelope}} and predators such as {{wp|lions}} and {{wp|leopards}}—do not exist on Chaukhira. In addition, the island has been spared the great variety of venomous snakes indigenous to the [[Audonia]]n continent. Although it is assumed that most life forms on the island had an [[Audonia]]n origin, isolation has allowed old species—elsewhere extinct—to survive and new species unique to the island to evolve. Thus, a great number of plant, insect, reptile, and fish species are endemic to Chaukhira, and all indigenous land mammal species—66 in all—are unique to the island. | Many of the characteristic [[Audonia]]n species—large mammals such as the {{wp|elephant}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|giraffe}}, {{wp|zebra}}, and {{wp|antelope}} and predators such as {{wp|lions}} and {{wp|leopards}}—do not exist on Chaukhira.

Chaukhira was once covered almost completely by forests, but slash and burn practices for dry rice and rubber cultivation, Secondary growth, which has replaced the original forest and consists to a large extent of {{wp|traveller's trees}}, {{wp|raffia palm}}, and {{wp|baobabs}}, is found in many places. The country has some 900 species of {{wp|orchid}}. {{wp|Bananas}}, {{wp|mangoes}}, {{wp|coconut}}, {{wp|vanilla}}, and other tropical plants grow throughout. | Chaukhira was once covered almost completely by forests, but slash and burn practices for dry rice and rubber cultivation, Secondary growth, which has replaced the original forest and consists to a large extent of {{wp|traveller's trees}}, {{wp|raffia palm}}, and {{wp|baobabs}}, is found in many places.
