The mountains feature a mosaic of grassland, heath, and bog, habitats that support a diverse and unique range of flora and fauna. They are significant for biodiversity, with red grouse, stonechats, skylarks, snipes, and other upland breeding birds, while peregrine falcons and ravens feed in the area. Several occupied badger setts exist, and during a walk through this habitat, one might encounter a hiding Irish hare. Many species found here are identified as Northern Ireland Priority Species.
