Zone today is not very diverse. Migratory birds are trapped in
vast numbers during the autumn for sale as food items. The
main mammals are those that farmers have accepted as neigh-
bors and those best at avoiding contact with people: hedgehog,
shrew, jackal, fox, mongoose, jungle cat, and wild cat. Domes-
ticated animals have largely taken the place of the large wild
animals. Rural people of the Nile Valley and Delta region share
their land with cattle, water buffalo, camels, donkeys, sheep,
and goats. The pesticides they use to prevent damage to their
crops have eliminated some birds of prey and other predators,
allowing rats to grow in number. There are very few wild plants
and trees. Trees grow mainly on the margins of fields, canals,
and roads and include the native date palm and tamarisk, and
the introduced Australian pine.
The Suez Canal connects Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea with the
town of Suez on the Red Sea. The 101-mile- (163-kilometer-) long canal is
twice the length of the Panama Canal and allows goods to be transported
from Asia to Europe without having to circumnavigate Africa.
