Cuba Wild Island of the Caribbean - Go Wild

- Cuba is a tropical paradise. It is the largest and yet least known island in the Caribbean. In recent years it has become famous for its old American cars, Fidel Castro's brand of communism, cigars and rum. Millions of tourists visit each year to enjoy the tropical climate and the wonderful beaches and warm seas.But there is another Cuba, the little known wildlife of this Caribbean island. Over half the plants and animals are found nowhere else on earth. Over 80% of the reptiles and amphibians are uniquely Cuban. They include the smallest four-legged animal on earth and the world's most aggressive crocodile. This programme looks at these little known creatures and investigates how they arrived on Cuba and when?The Story starts in the Caribbean Sea. Cuba has many unspoilt reefs that team with colourful fish. This is due in part to the recent communist regime, for there has been strict control over boats and very limited fishing.. So the reefs have remained pristine, a glimpse of how the rest of the Caribbean looked before development degraded so much.
One thing that Cuba developed that I enjoy most is its music. It contains all the best musical qualities ever written. Jazz progressions, Baroque scales, African rhythms, country lyrics, and the soul of a people that endured all that life could throw at them. Yet rise above it all dancing with a smile on their face. Viva La Cuba.
As Canadians we were favored over the east germans, many Canadians, snowbirds would go to Cuba and stay for winter. The staffat the hotels would welcome them, hug them. The cuban people were so warm , friendly, alays happy, smiling and sining. I loved their musica! They are lovely people. I stayed only 2 weeks and what a wonderful time I had. 😅 ❤Cuba & the people, especially the music and dancing ! 28:27
I frickin LOVE the underlying theme of 'finding the earliest fauna' of the island, with the narrative eventually ending with the scene of flamingoes in the sunset at the end. SOOO GOOOD. it gives this documentary a serious edge over just being another nature documentary.
agreed, but what about the sea turtle
Ah Cuba! Of all the places in the Caribbean I've visited I loved Cuba the most! It's the most beautiful of all the islands. The Cuban people were the warmest and most welcoming of anywhere I've been... I can't wait to one day go back again!
Marie Lawson I would love to go back too.
Me too..
Say hi to all the people leaving on rafts for me.
I can see Cuba is a lovely country you are very lucky to have gone yourself,i love there wildlife
@@ejrupp9555 say hi to all the poop skins crossing the border
Incredible video footage of wildlife underwater and on land. Amazing
Been binge watching wildlife documentaries all day 👍🏾👍🏾
I watch thisAnd Beavis and Butthead
I lived in Guantanamo for 3 years in 90-93. It’s great to see all the familiar wildlife. Especially the banana rat/hutias
But then there are the Cuban People, my pick for world champion hosts and dearest friends--they make you feel like you are part of their family, and when it's time to depart you have to wipe away your tears, just to say goodbye.
27.12.2023.First class,very good and best..Thanks for sharing.
Very good video. Entertaining and informative. Love learning all about this planet I currently reside on. It really is an amazing place. Wish we would just take better care of it.
im born and raised in cuba and we were never taught how was the Island form like its geological history!! all this time i had thought it just emerged in the caribbean!!! but the there is that huge fault crack down south of santiago .. it all makes more sense now. And the scene with the crabs doing dancing-like moves under the sea tho... had to laugh!! so cute and hilarious crabby putting on a rumba haha ... that was soo so cool, and the whole visual of it with the movement of the sea with the camera moves, such a nice music selection.
Cuba, Puerto Rico, are same.. bird dived in 2 wings..
Please never compare puerto rico to cuba. 🤣😂 puerto rico is not even in the same ballpark as cuba.
CUBA HAS A LOT OF ANIMALS AND IT'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL ISLAND
Really informative interesting documentary about amazing creatures of cuba, i always become mesmerized how such creatures have been evolved . From Pakistan 🇵🇰 Shagufta Fahmid
Impressive narration ~ supplying chronological eras, geographical specifics, & more breeds of varied life than before known. Details given to tantalize imaginations, without tawdry yap. A GREAT program which 9 out of 10 other such presentations would do well to copy. An award winning gift, in colour, textures, & inciteful facts that will surprise.
ive been to cuba great place i am from trinidad and tobago the Caribbean is the best
Very,Very nice Documentary part from the Crabs getting run over.
My favourite line " It should not surprise anyone that fish arrived in Cuba by swimming".
I'm boricua but would move to Cuba because of the u.s.
This calmed me don and made me proud to be a 1st generation Cuban -American, for sure.I love it when he says Cuber.
The bit with the crabs was superb.
Sona this is lovely island and its features are very magnificent,soooo heart touching 💞❤️🐚💞❤️🐚
I have to meet my mother land. I'm missing so much from that side of paradise.
Cuba is a beautiful place
I love the music to the dance of the crabs shaking.
Cuba is like a pure coastal Mediterranean land, but on steroids. Amazing beaches, nature and warm weather - 365 days a year good temperature whilst having rain in some seasons. My dream is to live in a warmer climate, it's lively.
I love tropical landscapes
I love the Caribbean! Martinique one of my favorite volcanic islands! Love all the history behind it. Hope for more like this :) something sunny and hot to warm us up in the winter!
well Cuba Is Cuba they pissed off so many Americans that most of us could care less about the place and you cant blame all of that resentment on one man , if not for the USA MAXIMUM PRISON they would be really hurting 4 visitors
No they wouldn't. Cuba is a very popular destination for Canadians and others who are allowed to go. Most of my family and friends have been there.
Drew B Martinique I'm intrigued now-)
The Bee Hummingbird beats it's wings at 50 - 80 times per second not 200 times a second, apart from that very minor discrepancy what an excellent video.
Yes, it was a bit of an exaggeration...but an excellent video...
Thanks for documentation of Cuba, at least I have a little idea on the place....
Love you Cuba...see you soon )
I have sampled many nature films and this is the finest I have ever seen. I watched it enthralled.
Glory and honour be to JESUS CHRIST, how beautiful is the work of his creation, all the creation and the universe 🌌 displays his glory and how genius GOD IS. Surely there is nothing GOD can't do, and he loves us so much that He sent his only Son (JESUS CHRIST) to die for us, so that we can be saved and inherit HEAVEN. ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO INHERIT THE GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF GOD (HEAVEN)
THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST
Wow!
Pink flamingos in Cuba wow
Todo el respeto para cuba 🇨🇺 de lo mío .... Spanish Caribbean

Thoroughly enjoyable.
Crabs we’re twerking under water lol 😂😂😂😂
That particular crunchy sound that tires driving over crabs make.
Damn gruesome.

A lot of food crabs, coconuts...tropical paradise.
I would add my thanks for posting this, as well. Like so much of the Caribbean, Cuba would be a fascinating locale to visit. This goes on my "Nature & Evolution" TH-cam Playlist.

The crocodile and the rootier totally were filmed at different times haha never see them in the same camera shot lol
Wonderful nature
Thank you so much for the uploads. Much appreciated.
I grew up in Miami and there were Iguanas there in the 50s and they're all over the Keys now! What makes them say they came from central or South America?And you never saw them in the Keys in the 70s thru the 90s. I think they got loose in Andrew just like the Pythons. I know I want to go there before I get too old! My Dad was Merchant Marine too & he told me Cuba was the most beautiful of all of the caribbean islands.
The first land animal on Cuba was an early 1950 Chevy. You can still see them roaming the streets today.
I know you're trying to be funny but man, that was lame!

I love Cuba my people s island
Omg the crunching of the crabs was so sad!
I would love to visit Cuba
Great documentary!
Cuba, hmmm. The greatest place, on earth to get the greatest vehicle on earth!!! Ya’s rock
Acknowledge, respect
Beautiful cuban amazon parrots
Amazon? This is Cuba, not South America.
Raffy Harry the genus name is amazon
He said, "the fish got to Cuba by swimming". No shit! .... sure happy they didn't fly. ...
By the way, s lot of these insects and fish[es] ect are in Jamaica.
Lot more than insects and fish..
Very nice documentary, Cuba is beautiful!
The dates though are ridiculous 70 million years ago Cuba was in the pacific lmao.
Thank you for the journey! Unless I want a good cigar, I may s k ip, this trip; too many crabs!
Kdubai
Very nice documentary.
if the crab's movement is predicted then government can reroute traffic during those days or if crab's take the same route than they can build little tunnels for crabs to pass safely under the road. it wouldn't cost a lot of money just some consideration from the people

Not sure why they couldn't lay a few pipes for the crabs to crawl under the roads. At least give them a chance.
Greatness.
Impressively...wow the nature of Cuba ia slightly different with others crabs everywhere, the scenary is looking good. Is the country maintain the nature??? Please keep it as is.
Death. By vehicles ...all they have too do is put some pvc piping under the road and put like 8 big pipes under the road.
and you know nothing about the communism, the communist don't care about their people, will be them worry about the crabs...

Mysterious place yet full of wonders. Damn those human skulls deep under water inside the cave though.
Smárt Hùńgyø who in the world cares about water inside a cave though🤦🏽♀️

Mysterious place yet full of wonders Damn
Mysterious?
Cuba's a mysterious place ?
I think every state in America
every Nation,
every Continent,
every big city,
every small city,
every town,
every neighborhood is
every nationality
every culture is
intriguing
and I'm curious of learning
about.most nationalities
and most places.
In my mind, the correct word is,
I'm intrigued.
In my mind, the word mysterious,
to describe a place, Cuba
and any other place

I remember my good moment in Cuba(Tarara) with a lot of Birds music!!!

I thought we were going to see their amazing painted snails aswell ❤️
How funny the crabs shake to release the eggs😊
But is owful how they die
Watching the 🦀 get plowed over by all the 🚗😟🤭😧
Can’t wait to visit someday.
Bucket list
I’m going to be going back here on Christmas! It’s me homeland , and I lived 9 years here
Dr.CaldTheLad Well, "here" and "here" can't be two different places, so where *is* "here"?
i hate seeing long video like this because it take so much of my time but cuba island is nice and cool nice to dive
5:42 That one Hutia is melanistic. He's probably worth a fortune.
Why didn't they make an underpass for the crabs. Wicked road construction engineers .
These are Russian engineers. Besides, it's survival of the fittest. Give it 1,000,000 years, and the result will be a crab who can crush a ZIL truck with a single foreclaw....
@@amitygames9318 I'm proud to be Russian
@@amitygames9318 wtf
@@Nippleless_Cage Much of the infrastructure in Cuba is engineered by Russians (friends of Castro...etc). They probably did not set forth to crush crabs, but this is a moot point today. Crabs all over Cuba are presently lurking and training to get their revenge....
Ya sure that all happened at the beginning there with the sick fish and the sharks zeroing in on him. The cameras were just lucky I guess. No disrespect but this type of setup has been going on for like forever. My first ever memory of this was when Mutual of Omaha filmed that unexplained freak of nature thing when hundreds of buffalo or something along those lines, stampeded of that cliff to their death back in the 70's in Africa. How tragic it all must have been to watch and film that horror in progress. LOL, it turn out that there was a chase car just off camera running them over the cliff. There was many more tales and reports of this type of filming brought to light as I grew up, some shows were even canceled after the it was revealed. So I wonder what did they do to that fish to make him limp? I'll bet they slit his spine near the tail fin.
Enjoyable show. Do you have something strictly about these Cuban Humming Birds? BTW: I enjoyed the Purple Commercial.
Good 👍
Can’t remember If National Geographic produced this one or which network was actually responsible , but while it was a good one , I never cared for the narrator choice .. Cuba could’ve Bn documented in a robust way with just a whole other vibe going on ..: but it was still a good one. This channel should be giving
Credit to all these actual networks that have already produced and shown these videos, before they just take them and put them on their TH-cam channel as if they actually have anything to do with any of the work involved or ownership ,, because they do NOT , not in the slightest ... these channels shouldn’t be plastering ads during content they have to commit copyright infringement just to be posting , just so they can selfishly profit off it ! If they’d really cared to , they could’ve just added on the title and in description that they do not aim to claim any of these videos as being their own property or having any rights to them , but are solely sharing for educational purposes only, like many legit channels do when they’re ever borrowing the work of all these major networks that own it all and rightfully have a say as to what is done with their content / property ! It’s sad that these channels change the titles and descriptions and post things and leave such details in the description as if they’re somehow owning or taking part in anything collectively with the actual rightful entities that do in fact , own and contributed to the production or filming or editing of or airing of these documentaries, just so these TH-cam channels can profit off monetizing ads. That’s a big no no !!! The idea is for everyone to at least be able to enjoy these beautiful works and appreciate the wildlife and nature among creation that we’ve been given to take care of and nurture and be responsible for ! Lord knows it’s one thing when folks wanna share work for the sake of education or entertainment but it should be done so the right way ! That said , I’ve never reported anyone on TH-cam for copyright infringement and I’m not Going to , but I won’t sit through or watch any advertisements so any TH-cam channel or anyone else can benefit financially , either ..: the only time id report someone is if clearly they were taking part in violent acts against humans or animals and I do work with others to stop the posting of videos involving animal cruelty that has run rampant on TH-cam , which is so wrong. And I’d report over issues of anyone victimizing anyone sexually or posting disturbing content of that nature that is a danger to others , especially toward children. I do not play over stuff like that but I would save those reports for actual law enforcement and not just Leave it up to this site when they may not truly take measures to ensure the safety and well being of ppl here and what they’re exposed to on this site .. but again , I’m not reporting over anything involving copyright or anything petty like I know some folks may do , but copyright issues while they can be petty to an extent when say, as one who happens to be an artist even if that is not my actual profession , if I were to draw / design for example, a logo to someone’s favorite sports team that’s happened to have copyright regulations pertaining to use of their logo even if created by an Artist freehanded with no use of any existing designs but just was designed by said artist - that would be a violation that some places actually do uphold. It’s silly honestly but that is what I’d call petty .. ppl stealing wk of these networks and profiting off it and passing it off to be as if they own or have any rights to it - that is wrong. Not something I’d report but doesn’t mean someone else won’t if they get bothered enough. I’ve done work on documentaries,well. It was solo lead vocal work on the soundtrack of documentaries aired nationally and I have sat in the studio while ppl worked around me on said documentaries and believe me , I know a lot of work goes into every Aspect and when some random person on TH-cam thinks to hold their entitled hand out for money they didn’t earn or have any right to . That’s not taken very well imo ! At least stop plastering ads and using these vids as a way to get larger view/ click numbers and money off ads. It doesn’t belong to u.
Yes the parrots I'm referring to are Cuban Amazon Parrots.
most of them are in the bahamas too
