User:Guettarda/Fauna of Trinidad and Tobago
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fauna of Trinidad and Tobago is primarily continental South American in its origins and affiliations. Unlike most islands, the fauna of Trinidad and Tobago has endemism and high taxonomic diversity. This is largely explained by the proximity of the islands to the South American mainland and the fact that they were both connected to South America until relatively recently - about 11,000 years ago for Tobago and 1500 years ago for Trinidad.[1]
