4. Cuba Has Some Unique Creatures
There are a few other rare species of note that call Cuba home. The world’s smallest bird, the bee hummingbird, lives there. One of the planet’s smallest frogs, the Eleutherodactylus iberia, also resides there. Cuba also lays claim to the prehistoric Manjuari fish. It’s a bizarre, primitive skeletal fish that’s like a biological link between fish and mammals. There are also some unique bats, snakes, lizards and river fish, plus over 3000 plant species found nowhere else. It’s a rich destination for ecotourism.
