Mount Everest, also called Sagarmatha (meaning "head of the sky") or Chomolungma, Qomolangma, Peak XV (in 1856), or Zhumulangma, is the highest mountain on earth at 8848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level. The mountain is part of the Himalya Moutains in High Asia, located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China.
The fauna (animals/creatures that live on the mountain) are few in species and number, seeing as it would be pretty hard to live on the highest peak of the earth as there is no food sources up there. Among the list are: Euophrys omnisuperstes (a minute black jumping spider), birds, such as the bar-headed goose and the Chough, who is known to feed on corpses and food left by climbing expeditions.
