Animal fossils include wild donkey, rhinoceros, buffalo, wild boar, spotted deer, antelope, dog, orangutan, ostrich egg, hedgehog wolf and other animal species. Xiaonanhai grottoes, also known as the Northern Qi grottoes, are located 25 kilometers southwest of Anyang County, on the north shore of Xiaonanhai, facing the Huan River, with its back against the mountains.
