It is especially famous for nurturing a wide range of water birds, such as the Nicobar pigeon, Andaman teal, Andaman crake, and various terns and doves, as well as sea turtles like the green turtle and hawksbill turtle, spotted deer, wild boar, and saltwater crocodiles. The island's coral reefs support rich marine life, including over 160 species of hard corals and numerous types of colorful fish, rays, and invertebrates, attracting snorkeling and diving enthusiasts.
The flora includes Dipterocarpus and Terminalia trees, Ficus retusa, Manilkara littoralis, and other coastal species that contribute to the sanctuary's ecological richness.
