Wolf pack (Canis lupus) "Plješevica“ of Plitvice Lakes National Park

Forests cover ¾ of the Park’s surface area. Alpine beech forests and beech-fir forests are predominant. Among them, the Čorkova uvala virgin forest has special value. Preserved forests are an ideal habitat for numerous plant and animal species. They are the home of three large European large carnivores: the wolf (Canis lupus), the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) and the brown bear (Ursus arctos).
