What is Descalzota Hotspot: Flora and Fauna Insights about?
The northern end of the island receives more rainfall and is heavily forested with tree species like bamboo, mahogany, rosewood and locust. The drier southern end is dominated by brush including cacti, Copaiba balsam, logwood and acacia. While anole lizards and fer-de-lance snakes are native, mongooses introduced in the 1800s to control snakes have become problematic as they prey on bird eggs and have eliminated or endangered several native bird species.
