	The central prairies are populated by a variety of [[small animal]]s. The bitter cold of Graben Island precludes many creatures that would normally dwell in the [[swamp]]s on the southern portion of the island, but some varieties of [[bird]]s, [[snake]]s, and [[toad]]s as well as [[otter]]s and [[beaver]]s can be found there. A variety of birds also inhabit the pine forests, and so do a variety of [[mammal]]s such as [[bear]]s, [[cougar]]s, [[rabbit]]s, [[squirrel]]s, and [[wolves]]. Herdsmen allow [[sheep]] and [[goat]]s to graze on the grasses of the island's northern edge.<ref name="SoHp.63">[[Ship of Horror]] p.63</ref>		The central prairies are populated by a variety of [[small animal]]s.

	Many parts of Graben Island are not well-suited to habitation by [[human]]ity. Stony beaches and only occasionally scrub-covered bluffs dominate the northwestern portion of the island, and the southern portion is largely weak and mushy [[marsh]]es and [[swamp]]s. The central parts of the island are a bit more hospitable with grass and shrub-covered prairies that are populated by a variety of [[small animal]]s.
