palearctic region
The Palearctic region stretches halfway around the globe. It includes Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, and a large part of Arabia and North Africa. It is bounded in the north by the Arctic Ocean and in the south by the Sahara, the Gulf of Oman and the Himalayas. Its western limit is the Atlantic and its eastern frontier is the Pacific Ocean.
