In the Jardines de la Reina, an archipelago in the southern part of Cuba, two species have managed to co-exist in not-quite-harmony: the endangered Cuban iguana and the hutia, a type of large rodent.

Being around cuban Iguanas and banana rats has been one of the coolest experiences for me. Banana rats love humans and make these high pitched squeeling sounds when they want food. They stand on their hind legs and beg.

I'm very impressed with the way the iguanas use those whip-like tails. Now picture an Apatosaurus using such a tail against the apex predator of its time - Allosarus.

"One of the most endangered, yet they're here in abundance ". Must be nice having it both ways.

I like those Cuban Iguanas. They’re one of my favorite species of Iguanas. As for those Rodents, I like them. I heard those fuzzy fellas are sometimes caught & eaten by Cuban Crocodiles.

@Dylan Geltzeiler hutia’s are very important and critical prey items for Cuban crocodiles, they make up 90% of a Cuban crocodiles diet. Cuban crocs are terrestrial adapt Carnivores after all. Also there are quite a diversity of hutia species, I believe they found a new species in the Dominican Republic.

@@jointcerulean3350 #1 So I have noticed of the predator prey relationship on some recent Documentaries. The Crocodiles & The Hutias to be pronouncing. #2 What new species was found in the Dominican Republic? Some kind of Reptile I presume?

@Dylan Geltzeiler Yes indeed, but the thing is the Cuban crocodile is a terrestrial crocodile which makes land roaming mammals such as the hutias such important prey items. there was a study on there bones in blue holes in the Bahamas and found they lived in a terrestrial rather than aquatic food web, here’s the paper is called “Domination by Reptiles in a Terrestrial Food Web of the Bahamas Prior to Human Occupation.” Also about the new species in the Dominican Republic it is actually an new species of mammal, a hutia named after James Bond, it’s called Plagiodontia aedium bond. Also since you mentioned new reptile species, they also found new species of iguanas in the Caribbean, iguana insularis from Grenada and the Grenadines, iguana melanoderma from Saba and Montserrat island, and another species to.

And then come the modern man! Some want the Rodents' fur for clothes and other want the Iguanas' skin for shoes. But they could not directly capture or kill them. So they came up with a plan ... A plan to disturb their peaceful harmonious way of living. First, they went to the Rodents offered them gifts and foods and told them: "Now we have to go to the Iguanas to offer them the main gifts we brought." Plz continue the story yourself.
