Uludag was previously known as Olympus Misios in ancient times and is known in mythology as the place where the gods watched the Trojan war.
The suitable conditions have also formed a habitat for many species of animal and bird life, like bears, wolves, jackals, foxes, roe deer, rabbits, pigs, partridges, wild pigeons, vultures, eagles, black kites, nightingales, and goldcrests.
