Years ago they were imported the Ugarini of California, species now cataloged as sedentary.
Over the heads of customers, it is also easy to see two large birds quarrel: the Peregrine Falcon, greedy predator Cubs Gull which, in turn, seeks the eggs of Falco. Instead, at dawn in front of the windows of the apartments run undisturbed wild rabbits.

During the period between late March and late May, but especially in the fall, this archipelago becomes important site for migrating black storks and geese: There have been, over the past few years dozens of animals in August-October. The vulture is another species of the family "accipitride", unfortunately in danger of extinction, but inexplicably while studying migration in Marettimo were surveyed between late August and mid-September of 2003, approximately 72 individuals.
