Endemic fauna
Frogs
Venezuela's tepuys are the home of a number of endemic frog species. Sometimes these species are known from only a single tepuy, as is the case of several which are to be found in the national park.
- Cerro Duida
- Mount Duida frog (Dischidodactylus duidensis)
- Cerro Marahuaca
Several frog species are only known from the summit of Cerro Marahuaca, including Pristimantis marahuaka, Metaphryniscus sosai, and Myersiohyla inparquesi.
