Caribbean: The Wild Side of Paradise - Wildest Islands - Go Wild
ฝัง

- Between the continents of North and South America is a tropical paradise: The Caribbean. This is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands and reefs, lying within the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. From just a few metres wide, to hundreds of kilometers across, every island is different, and each has its own unique wildlife.
This film reveals the Caribbean’s secret wild side. Under the cover of darkness, giant leatherback turtles visit Trinidad’s beaches to lay their eggs. Dominica’s volcanic heritage gives it fertile soils, making the island rich in flowering plants. These provide food for some of the Caribbean’s fastest movers: hummingbirds.
The Caribbean’s coral reefs are one of its richest treasures. Many of the species that find shelter here are found nowhere else. These warm, calm waters provide sanctuary for ocean giants too. Humpback whales travel thousands of miles to raise their young in the Caribbean Sea.
As summer approaches, these sun-drenched islands become an altogether darker place. The Caribbean is in the firing line of some of the most ferocious storms on earth. Hurricanes bring waves up to 20 metres high, sometimes destroying the reefs themselves. A troop of lobsters undergoes a night-time march to safety.
Trinidad, connected to South America until just 12,000 years ago, has its own unique legacy of mainland life. Flocks of luminous scarlet ibis probe the mud for crabs. White-throated capuchin monkeys make the most of island life, searching for conches at low tide. In its tropical forests, manakin birds dance in a bid to attract a mate.
In July, the young leatherbacks leave the safety of their nests. Once grown, the females will return to the Caribbean’s beaches to lay their eggs, just as their ancestors have done for the last 100 million years.

Trinidad my country
You're the owner it sounded like
You are very fortunate - such a beautiful and blessed country!
Mine, too. I was born there, and lived there the first 65 years of mylife. This is hands down the best documentary I have ever seen introducing T&T’s wildlife. I have never been to Dominicaso was glad to see the footage of that island. The camera work was fabulous, fine editing, great script includes plate tectonics and history - the Parton the migration of indigenous people from South America.
Been to Trinidad and Tobago rastafari Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️🌵 yes I Africa we are all African

I dig hummingbirds. A marvel of evolutionary biology and... I'm jealous of their flight abilities. How much fun does it look like to be able to fly like they do? Even babackwards! Amazing.
Oh my, Oh my! Such beautiful jewels each of them to their own right…an exquisite paradise! 🐝From Cuba to Trinidad and Tobago, there is no other place as beautiful as the Caribbean. Its an amazing documentary, thanks!
Big up to all lovely countries 💯😍😍😍😊

My Beautiful country 🇹🇹
While exploring the untamed side of the Caribbean, let's not forget about Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. With its stunning ecological reserves, such as the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park, Punta Cana offers a unique blend of natural beauty and exciting wildlife encounters.
A heartfelt thank you to the creators of this captivating documentary, which truly captures the essence of the Caribbean's wild side. We're left in awe of the majestic creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes that call these islands home. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more thrilling adventures and wildlife encounters. Let's embrace the wild side of paradise! 🐾🌺
My sister in law and my nephew were from Trinidad
Very interesting document of the wild life
Oh, this is so relaxing. Excellent documentary.
the red Ibis at 38:42 are beautiful
the CARIBBEAN is the scattered beginnings of the " longest n most extensive mtn range " on the planet with peaks second only to the HIMALAYAS.... the Andes ,, where it's heights begin in Venezuela n ends in Argentina trailing off in the Falkland Islands ! the Caribbean arc is all volcanic out croppings ! some active while others is dormant !
Thanks for the docu.....I'm so Proud to be a GUYANESE !
Excellent video 😊
Hermoso
Another terrific documentary! Thank you.
Jus beautiful 😍 where is less population it's just breath taking.... beautiful earth ❤️
Iam Jamaican. Mostly represented Trinidad. I wish you had used some Trinidad music like calypso or soca. Keept on playing reggae and other music . Trinidad has their own music and instruments. Trinidad is as unique as their wildlife.
Was not expecting that banger riddim at 32:00
I've always felt a little sad for the eggs the vultures get to feast on since they'll never hatch but I am also glad the vultures are there to help keep the beach clean.
Such a beautiful place. It's nice to know there is somewhere not full of garbage.
idk about that one...there is definitely garbage here destroying our seas..
Greetings from the BIG SKY. I read the credits of your Philippines video, you guys are real.
Oh my god!
u say the island of Dominica but you show us the two pitons in saint lucia

Big up to the trinis
Special life as a content
You are so very lucky that you don’t have mineral deposits, like here in Australia! Your reefs will not be destroyed by huge ports for loading coal like ours will be. What a magnificent place you are lucky enough to live in.
Am just seeing this...can I ask..did you research JAMAICA????????
Music please??🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Where?
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
Hummingbirds look as if they snort nectar!!!
As a group they should be renamed "a fiend of hummingbirds"
That's a "oOoooh yeah" every split second .
Hummingbird heart beating 80 times a second come on
Imagine being born somewhere else 😂❤
those pitons are found in st,lucia

Fact: the "whip spider" is ACTUALLY a type of scorpion. Not the other way around (like he said). Great documentary, but I play these to my little kids and want to get facts straight
"To start with, they aren’t true spiders. Whip spiders belong to the order Amblypygi, whereas true spiders belong to the order Araneae. Whip spiders have more in common with whip scorpions and schizomids than their namesake, as they share features such as an antennae-like first set of legs.
Whip spiders have large, shiny pedipalps, which they use for catching prey. They also have four pairs of legs, the first pair of which are thin and elongated, and give this arachnid its common name. The mouthparts, or chelicerae, are two-segmented, and its abdomen is egg-shaped and appears flattened.
Whip spiders prey on a wide variety of arthropods. Some species occasionally take prey in flight or from below the water. "

Where's the steel pan man?
Doesn't look 1080p...
Jamaica has the little lizzardthat hunt the egg of the green lizzard
How can these creatures be visiting these shores from the time of the dinosaurs when these countries are fairly new???
Are you suggesting that landmasses only come into existence once humans have declared them a country?
@@itzakpoelzig330 nope but regardless of how you spin the coin..what he said made absolutely no sense..
Dude said "millions of years" and yet carbon 14 only has a half-life of a few thousand.
You should probably look up the meaning of half-life and research how it pertains to C14.
@@itzakpoelzig330 You know full well what I'm saying. I don't believe in your religion. You did not observe the last scattering. No massive quantum fluctuation has ever been observed.
I'm fairly sure Silver Bank is in the Atlantic Ocean and not in the Caribbean.

Oh look , there's a female of our species on the beach! Let us mate with her in the winter.
Thanks for mentioning "Gothic" ! Nearly 34 years of wearing all black is finally noticed ! YES, we do still exist... Mu ha ha ha... I am still proudly one of the creepy things that will forever go bump in the night and be the shadow you think you may have seen.
There is no Hebrew translation
Nature is Beautiful but at risk of some humans stupid enough to destroy the very environment needed for life and others intelligent enough to know that they are doing it.
what a crock of speculation
Lol this was 80% about one island bro cmon
The best way to visualize human insanity.
Ewww you couldve spared us the roach and bat part lol so gross 🤢
We spent 3 vacays at Caribbean places. Now I can't fly anymore.

Wouldn't you be bummed to be reincarnated, only to find out that you were a beetle that ate bat poo. I'd rather be reincarnated Welsh! (English people can say that about the Welsh. They say worse than that about us. It's an understanding we have.)
as someone from the Caribbean (Trinidad), i always found it weird when foreigners call here "paradise" 😂
Try living in Detroit, Glasgow or Naples. You might appreciate the beauty of Trinidad more. Nowhere is perfect because humans create strife and squalor wherever they infest, but those islands are intrinsically beautiful.

Just another opportunity to share the "gospel of evolution" 🤬
so sterile turtle eggs are designed for a purpose but humming birds and flowers Co evolved and weren't designed to fit each other to prevent a lack of food? Why wont these people ever admit God designed and created everything
so sad that this drivel is still spouted seriously in this age
@@gordondean2165 what drivel are you talking about? True science proves a creator and disproves the lies of evolution and many evolution scientists are admitting the the truth in this day and age
