In terms of flora, Sri Lanka’s wet zones are home to spectacular variety of orchids, hardwood trees (including ebony, teak and silkwood), and plants used in Sri Lankan ayurvedic medicine, whereas the hill country boasts some of the most fascinating cloud and dwarf (pygmy) forests as well as extensive grassland areas (such as the famous Horton Plains National Park). Even the dry zone, though usually arid, can erupt with colour after a spell of rain.

Sri Lanka's fauna is equally diverse, with a total of 86 mammal species (including primates, predatory animals and ungulates), 83 species of snake, 54 species of fish and 5 endangered species of marine turtle.
