- Away from the burning glare of the Caribbean sun live some unusual animals. Cuba is home to the Hutia, a small dog sized rodent as well as plenty of marauding crabs!

Never knew a Hutia existed till today, cuban animals are interesting
New animal excised so what ?!
You want to see the women
@Bernar Garcia Beautiful creatures
@Bernar Garcia I must have been confused between the women and the cars.
@Bernar Garcia I must have lost some years. I thought they loved their classic American cars in Cuba.
What capybaras would look like if they lived in nyc subway stations
LOL FR
Or, a cross between a mole and a nutria😆
Imagine waking up one morning and seeing all those crabs outside your window 🤦🏾♂️
I’d just throw the key at them. It’s their house now lol.
You’d complain over breakfast coming to your house?
@@rayperez5918 not when it's trying to crawl in my window
Hutias also used to live in Puerto Rico many, many years ago, they were a food source of the Taíno natives. The Puerto Rican hutias are extinct, but thankfully they still exist in other Caribbean islands.
Hi
@@lifeonearth1911 Hey.
proof communism is good for animals
@@bri1085do they bite?
Bro I thought y’all still had jutias there
Its so cool, like a cross between a capibara and a opossum :)
And a raccoon! The legs and torso kinda give off the shape...
Thanks for posting this, as a Cuban American it’s fascinating to see and lovely
Id love to learn more about Cuba and visit, wish relations were better between our countries :(
Fun fact: in Puerto Rico the 'Jutías' (hutias) were pretty much hunted to extinction by the native tainos. Spaniard accounts tell how they were hunted and how rare they were (they were the largest land animal by far then in the island).
Uh no the ones that hunted them to extinction was the Europeans the tainos didn't hunt them daily because they were both farmers and hunters they knew how to control populations of their foods
They were still eating in Cuba until the 1950s apparently they taste like rabbit.
Cuban animals are wonderful creatures. I wish I could have them dwelling in my house.
Wow, those red crabs are awesome. ❤️🥺
I like the music that started playing when the crabs came on😉😀
Animals are more fun to watch than people. Period
Hi
This is the first documentary about cuba i saw!
sad
So cute🤩🤩
Never knew what a Hutia was .
Amazing .
👍🏼
Great narration too
Everyday brand new footages on all new Animal Kingdom!! Thanks BBC Earth 😍👌🙌
The Hutia on the thumbnail: *Hey*
Wow! Wildlife in cuba is very different from what we see in Africa . Av learnt something new today. Thank you for sharing!
So cute they look
Unbelievable...
EXCELLENT WORK BY BBC EARTH
the way they introduce the crabs is so funny to me
Thank you so much !
So amazing story
Thank you.
This is very interesting... 👍
The narrator has an excellent voice!
incredible red crab👍👍👍👍
Very good
its fascinating to learn how Cuban rodent and crab families habilitate surviving on plant and herb patches near the caribbean sea.
Didn’t even know these existed till I played far cry 6.
Beautiful Caverage. 💮💮🇮🇳
i love animals :3
SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This video interesting
This is the real Master Splinter!
This kinda looks like a lesser capybara
Nice
i would not want to be swimming in millions of larvae lol
3.10 made my skin crawl. 😬😲
I have seen rats in New York just as big I swear.
Some are bigger than a small dog. Sewer rat's are HUGE
Woah thats big for a rat. How they get that big tho?
@@Bebedollie chihuahua sized
@@herpallday1284 thats pretty big still. I got rats where i live in new zealand cos i live in the country by a river and streams . The rats from the river are quite big. But my dog kills them
@@Bebedollie New York rats drink 40’s and have du rags I don’t think they’re scared of dogs 🤣
When I was in the army I saw few of those animals while I was in the post. I miss our ocean, the nature of my island.
Hutia = Quarantine life
Anyone know what that guitar piece is called and who composed and/or performed it?
SO THİSİS VERY GOOOOOD VİDİOO
So cute that Cavy-like rodent Hutia!!
Hi
Looks like a mouse, is closer to a guinea pig. Some rodents are quite deceiving in appearance.
Fun fact: the Pacific ocean’s version of these Cuban red crabs 🦀 are the red crabs that live on Christmas Island. 🇨🇽
Always nice seeing a animal species you've never seen before.
Solenodon was mammal incredibly awesomely!
- Å fan!
Seem like Cuba has alot animals
@@earthstrong1616 ?
Wish I could watch the full episodes
Hutias are endearing.
Air breathing land crabs are much better than land breathing air crabs.
First hehe finally, so happy I have notification for this channel
🥇
Hi
Hutia- pre-evolved form of Capybara.
Wow I wantto
I ate one of these in cubas lmao. The locals there catch and cook them
It's time to look far and daydream 🌳🌲💚💚
Those giant rodents are lush
سبحان الله العظيم في خلقه
Damn I didn’t even knew this thing existed till now
Central America has crabs like that on both coasts. Billions of them.
Phil Lamar is that you💯
Btw an cuban and jutias taste amazing they are so good to eat
3:12 Honey, get the boiling pot ready!
👍👍👍
it's true...i had been at Cuba for 7 years, one night i had to travel many kilometers at a ocean-side road which was full of them and taxi had no other option left but to have its tyres over them to pass from there....just imagin!!
They are known in Spanish as jutía. In Cuba, where food is scarce, both la jutia and the cangrejos (crabs) are a good source of food.
why dump them in the ocean only to go back on land? What makes them not be able to do that on land? (would the eggs dry out/be picked off?)
Cuban rodents, okay, but air breathing land crabs that travel 10 kilometers to lay their eggs in the sea 🤯
Have you never heard of the Christmas Island red crab? They also live on land, breathe air, and travel long distances to the sea just to lay their eggs.
Wouldn’t mind them crabs coming up on my window I’d be having crab every night for dinner
Lol, happens once a year tho
Suuuuuuuuuuupeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr
3:10 Can you imagine them accidentally getting into your house and then climbing into bed with you in the middle of the night?... That's a big nope for me.
@Bernar Garcia I used to live in a town called Dania and we had huge land crabs that would be running around all over the place. Sometimes when you would go to open your door and if you weren't paying attention they would run right into the house. But they weren't anywhere near the epic proportions of the crabs in Cuba.
@@beautyforashes2022 are they edible?
@@an.axolotl5812 yes, you can eat them. But I've never known anyone who has.
Tikoooooss.... ih geliiikk... 🥵🥵🥵😨😨😨
Hi
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
pog.
BBC✨
I love your accent, it’s beautiful, as is the video.
I remember hunting them like crazy in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
👍🏽
I'm from Cuba and I had never seen a jutía before lol
Monte adentro las hay, depende de donde vivas
Watching this help me to slp
Hey
0:55 Can anybody else see the Rhino standing near the shoreline?
i would be the crabs that took a wrong turn
Phil the Solenodon he's is voice actor played by Jim Carrey. From Sonic 2.
They kinda look like capibara mixed kangaroo
Far cry 6 is why I’m here
Did he say "size of a small dog??"
@Bernar Garcia Its largest/and longest/and tallest males can indeed be around as large, long and tall as a Chihuahua ,Shi Thu and other small dog breeds, just saying✌🤘👌👍
Insular dwarfism. All around the Caribbean, animals tend to be smaller because they evolved in a limited-range environment.
For a rodent that’s pretty big
Small capybara...
How ironic. I was just reading an article on the recently described and extinct Cuban Black Vulture (Coragyps seductus) and 4 other species. It probably scavenged and occasionally preyed on these medium sized rodents.
100 like
Looks like he is about to start a new chemical factory
Looks like capybara
They kinda look like a- foosa.... If that’s spelled right.
It's pronounced foosa, but it's spelled fossa.
Look like dassies /hyraxes
They have similar body shape to capybara.
Dnld Reacher from playstore it's revelutionary 😲😉
Cuban here. We eat jutias. We also sacrifice them to the Orishas, cuz. . . Cuba. . .
