Once upon a time in the Antilles, there was a huge variety of mammals: sloths, monkeys, rodents and insectivores. Humans arrived and now barely 15 of these native species are left represented by two families: solenodon and hutias. They are now in danger of becoming extinct. We all need to help to conserve these species.
