Many of the species that live on top of the tepuis are found nowhere else on the planet. |
Though KNP includes several outlier tepuis of Roraima sandstone, these are minor in extent compared with those of Canaima and are therefore represent lower levels of biodiversity. |

The flat summits of the tepuis in Canaima contain high levels of endemism which has led to the recognition of 'Pantepui' as a distinct biogeographical entity. |
His own studies on toads, for example, suggest that they have been living on top of the tepuis since they formed. |
The tepuis constitute a unique biogeological entity and are of great geological interest. |
