{{Main|Wildlife of Korea}}
Animal life of the Korean Peninsula includes a considerable number of bird species and native [[freshwater fish]]. Native or [[endemic]] species of the Korean Peninsula include [[Korean hare]], [[Water deer|Korean water deer]], [[Korean field mouse]], [[Korean brown frog]], [[Korean pine]] and [[Picea koraiensis|Korean spruce]]. The [[Korean Demilitarized Zone]] (DMZ) with its forest and natural [[wetlands]] is a unique biodiversity spot, which harbours eighty-two [[endangered species]]. Korea once hosted many [[Siberian tigers]], but as the number of people affected by the tigers increased, the tigers were killed in the Joseon dynasty and the Siberian tigers in the South Korea became extinct during the Japanese colonial era period. It has been confirmed that Siberian tigers are only on the side of [[North Korea]] now.

There are also approximately 3,034 species of [[vascular plants]] throughout the peninsula.
