Fenghuangshan area has high mountains and deep valleys. At first, it was sparsely populated and densely forested. This is a good habitat for many kinds of wild animals, such as tigers, leopards and bears. Because the animals destroyed by forests have been killed by human beings, many wild animals have lost their living conditions, some have long been extinct, and some are already very rare. At present, only the stocks of "four-legged fish" and snakes are relatively large.
