Wildlife by group and country
Sri Lanka's five places split between three shallow reefs — Hikkaduwa, Kalpitiya and Pigeon Island, none deeper than 20 metres — and two south-eastern national parks, Yala and Kumana. The hawksbill and green turtles come from the sea; the saltwater crocodile from Yala's lagoons. Three species, two threatened and one not.
Places come from reviewed species-place links; the species shown at each place are only those in this group.
