The High Atlas, also called the Grand Atlas, is a mountain range in central Morocco, North Africa, the highest part of the Atlas Mountains. The High Atlas rises in the west at the Atlantic Ocean and stretches in an eastern direction to the Moroccan- Algerian border.
The High Atlas is home to the Barbary leopard (Pathera pardus panthera) and Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia).Other mammals include red fox (Vulpes vulpes), golden jackal (Canis aureus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), Barbary ground squirrel (Atlantoxerus getulus), Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon), crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata), and European polecat (Mustela putorius).
The Aures Mountains are often presented as being the easternmost part of the Saharan Atlas. Though not as high as the High Atlas, they reach similar altitudes as the Tell Atlas range that runs to the north of them and closer to the coast. The highest peak in the range, outside of the Aures Mountains, is the 2,236 m (7,336 ft) high Djebel Aissa.
