Wildlife
Pier
Barbados has an odd wildlife system as the island nation has few indigenous mammals due to its volcanic origin; the bat is about the only native mammals although there are also monkeys, mongoose, and hares. Plus, off the island's shore are more mammals and great sea life. In addition to mammals like dolphins and whales, as an island nation there are thousands of fish surrounding the country and these waters contain larger animals like sharks, but also include eels, angelfish, barracudas, grouper, sponges, lobsters, snapper, and thousands more.
Like the sea life, there are plenty of birds that live on the island or migrate through. These birds are mostly limited to water fowls like ducks, egrets, and terns, but there are other non-water fowl species that call the islands home such as the falcon, hummingbird, and finch. The reptilian and amphibian life is also limited in scope, but there are turtles, snakes, iguanas, frogs, and lizards of all kinds. There are numerous other species, including insects and spiders on the island.
