@Bernar Garcia I must have lost some years. I thought they loved their classic American cars in Cuba.

@cintronproductions9430 3 года назад

Hutias also used to live in Puerto Rico many, many years ago, they were a food source of the Taíno natives. The Puerto Rican hutias are extinct, but thankfully they still exist in other Caribbean islands.

Fun fact: in Puerto Rico the 'Jutías' (hutias) were pretty much hunted to extinction by the native tainos. Spaniard accounts tell how they were hunted and how rare they were (they were the largest land animal by far then in the island).

@casof97 2 года назад

Uh no the ones that hunted them to extinction was the Europeans the tainos didn't hunt them daily because they were both farmers and hunters they knew how to control populations of their foods

@beautyforashes2022 3 года назад

@Bernar Garcia I used to live in a town called Dania and we had huge land crabs that would be running around all over the place. Sometimes when you would go to open your door and if you weren't paying attention they would run right into the house. But they weren't anywhere near the epic proportions of the crabs in Cuba.

They are known in Spanish as jutía. In Cuba, where food is scarce, both la jutia and the cangrejos (crabs) are a good source of food.

And then some people will claim that there is no God (Designer of the earth and the creatures that live in it): Where did these crabs learn how to get to the seashore, lay their eggs, and the eggs after hatching find their way back on land and start that 10-kilometer journey back to where their parents are? It definitely wasn't from a BIG BANG. You are an awesome mighty God, Lord Jesus.
