Also, breeding Melro-de-peito-branco and Galinhola. The rarest species are Papa-moscas-pequeno, Pica-pau-de-dorso-branco , Mocho-pigmeu and Mocho de Tengmalm.
Some of the mammalian highlights of the national park are brown bear (relatively numerous, but rarely seen), chamois (frequent), roe deer (common), wildcat, European pine marten, and Eurasian otter.
