Wilson's Phalarope (a shorebird) is found in the largest concentration in and around the Great Salt Lake. Wildlife is abundant and the lake also provides habitat for animals like bison, elk, antelope, deer, bobcats and coyotes. Other than these, the lake supports millions of birds like stilts, pelicans, swallows, peregrine falcons, gulls and eagles. But owing to the salinity of the lake, very few fish can live here and its mostly brine shrimps. However the south end of the lake is known to have sharks and fish.
