Hiking Hong Kong Wildlife

On my hikes in Hong Kong I have encountered many different species of wildlife. On these pages I will elaborate on those animals which I have encountered. This is not to be taken as an official guide as I am not an expert, far from it in fact, to animal species in Hong Kong.

I have separated this section into different categories of wildlife as my collection is starting to grow. At the moment I have separated different wildlife into the following seven categories:

  1. Hong Kong Spiders - All types of spiders found in Hong Kong
  2. Hong Kong Snakes - All Types of snakes found in Hong Kong
  3. Hong Kong Lizards - All types of lizards found in Hong Kong
  4. Hong Kong Insects - All types of flies, moths, caterpillars, wasps, bees, butterflies & dragonflies found in Hong Kong
  5. Hong Kong Mammals - All types of mammals found in Hong Kong
  6. Hong Kong Fish - All types of fish and amphibians found in Hong Kong
  7. Hong Kong Flowers - All types of flowers found in Hong Kong
