Flora and Fauna
Due to the aridity of the Sahara, the Tibesti massif is nearly free of accumulated vegetal soil, and robust plant life is deficient in almost every area throughout the year. The Tibesti Mountains lies in the ecological region, they called Tibesti-Djebel Uweinat Montane Xeric Woodlands. In these mountains, there is only one lake, the Mare de Zoui, along with a number of oases.

Famous quotes containing the words flora and/or fauna:
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
