Nearctic faunal realm
Nearctic faunal realm The fauna of N. America, south to Mexico. At the order and family level the fauna is essentially the same as that of the Palaearctic realm, reflecting their former connection via the Bering land bridge, but some genera and more especially species are distinctive to the Nearctic.
