South Africa is a large country, ranked 25th by size in the world, with a mainland section that is largely subtropical or temperate. It is subject to varied climate types and a patchwork of unique habitat types is consequently distinguishable, contributing to biodiversity and the level of endemism. Offshore, South Africa's territory includes the Prince Edward Islands in the sub-antarctic Indian Ocean, while the submerged though ecologically important Agulhas Bank is for most part inside its territorial waters.
