The Kaplankyr State Nature Reserve cares about preserving the biodiversity of fauna. In a special enclosure here are kept gazelles, mountain sheep, hares, pheasants and other representatives of the local animal world. Specialists have created all the conditions, namely, food, care and observation necessary for animal reproduction. Healthy and strong individuals from the reserve are released into the natural habitat.
According to the staff of the reserve on their territory can be seen a large number of birds - 213 species (resident or migratory), as well as 22 species of reptiles, 45 species of mammals. Among ungulates one can meet gazelles, kulans, mountain sheep, wild boars, and among predators there are corsak, fox, jackal, and wolf. There are also rare red-listed representatives of fauna - caracal, barchan cat. Divers, ducks, waders, cormorants, swans and birds of prey such as harriers and white-tailed eagles can be found in the wetlands.
Of particular importance for the growth of the ornithofauna population are local water bodies, including the lakes Sarykamysh, Aibovur, Zengi Baba, as well as Lake Altyn Asyr, which is under construction.
