These are photos of some of the animals that can be found in Hanoi and the countryside nearby. Of course, dogs and cats are common everywhere, and they have their separate pages, but one doesn’t have to go far to see farm animals like buffalo, pigs, or goats, sometimes even within the city limits. Then, hiking in the hills around the city, it’s possible to find big spiders, lizards, wasps, butterflies, and more. Nature is always close by.
