Calvià to the islands. Local native plant species include holm oak ("Quercus ilex") and various pine species. 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,
Audubon's shearwater likely, as yet another synonym of "dichrous". The case of the more distinct "bannermani", the range of which is parapatric to that of the Pacific "dichrous", is more complicated. It has for some time been proposed as a distinct species, Bannerman's shearwater ("P. bannermani"). In the absence of more recent data to investigate this claim, its status continues to be altogether unresolved, though the case for it being at least a distinct subspecies in the "bailloni" clade seems good.
