There are over 1,000 animal species; notable among them are the seabirds Cory's shearwater ("Calonectris diomedea"), various cormorants ("Phalacrocorax"), the common swift ("Apus apus"), and the Manx shearwater ("Puffinus puffinus") as well as numerous reptiles, such as the endemic Lilford's wall lizard ("Podarcis lilfordi") found on several of the islets of the archipelago. The islets are also home to one of Spain's few colonies of Hermann's tortoise ("Testudo hermanni"; other colonies are in Murcia and Almería). Although the vegetation on the cliffs is sparse,

Downloaded from http://www.birdlife.org on 26/7/2006 Heinroth's shearwater Heinroth's shearwater ("Puffinus heinrothi") is a poorly known seabird in the family Procellariidae.
