The Jubrione region was mapped separately from the Morstia region in 1902 to separate the evergreen rainforest with the rest of Morstia. It encompassed a region approximately 390,693 km². This land, which eventually became only seven constituencies in 1917 was protected as a nature reserve as the Jubrione National Park. The national park is home to a plethora of fauna, including species that overlap with those found in the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Morstia|Morstia region]] such as the [[Wikipedia:Wild boar|wild boar]], [[Wikipedia:Red deer|velvet red deer]], [[Wikipedia:Brown bear|brown bear]], and the [[Wikipedia:Cuban crocodile|Morstaybishlian crocodile]] which inhabits several freshwater river systems.

Many native fauna also make the Jubrione Rainforest their home, including Morstaybishlia's national animal the [[Wikipedia:North American jaguar|Auroran jaguar]] and two other big cats; the [[Wikipedia:American cheetah|Auroran cheetah]] and a subspecies of the [[Wikipedia:Leopardus pardalis|ocelot]] found exclusively in fringe parts of the west and south near the savanna. Hunting these big cats for their furs were a traditional sport until it was banned in the 1940s - the numbers of the Auroran cheetah came as low as 450 mating pairs in the wild, though breeding and reintroduction programs have increased their native population tenfold. Many other animals have experienced the same problem and have had reintroduction programs, such as the [[Wikipedia:Rusty-spotted genet|panther genet]] and the nocturnal [[Wikipedia:Pygmy hippopotamus|pigmy hippopotamus]].
