The region has been insufficiently researched by zoologists but is known to be home to antelopes, forest elephants, and several primates, including the rare bonobo (pan paniscus), De Brazza's Monkey, Crested mangabey and the lowland gorilla. There is only one known strictly endemic mammal, the Dryas Monkey (Cercopithecus dryas). Other near-endemic mammals include the Golden-bellied mangabey (Cercocebus chrysogaster), bonobo (Pan paniscus, EN), okapi (Okapia johnstoni), Allen's swamp monkey (Allenopithecus nigroviridis), Angolan Kusimanse (Crossarchus ansorgei), Thollon's Red Colobus (Procolobus tholloni) and Wolf's Mona Monkey (Cercopithecus wolfi).

There are two birds that are near-endemic in the region the Congo Peafowl (Afropavo congensis, VU) and the Yellow-legged Weaver (Malimbus flavipes).
