Animals

So Dominica is referred to as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean and basically there are a zillion animals running around.   There are over 170 species of birds including two types of indigenous parrots, twelve species of bats, an enormous amount of interesting insects of all colors and sizes, boas, iguanas, opossums, agouti, frogs (including the almost extinct mountain chicken), and crabs.
In the sea, there are thousands of fish and coral, many species of whales, turtles and dolphins, which makes it one world's top diving and marine wildlife destinations.

I live in an area known as moo cow trail.  The place down the street is called lizard trail.
So far I've seen white crabs, yellow crabs, tiny little red crabs, iguanas, crazy bugs, millipedes, cats, dogs, cows, lots of birds, tons of crazy fish and a stingray!
