  • A flying bat

There are few mammals in Jamaica and only one species is endemic: the Jamaican hutia, a rodent that ressembles a Guinea pig and lives in the Blue Mountains and on the heights of the Hellshire Hills, and which is now threatened with extinction. Wild pigs live in the remote areas of the John Crow Mountains. Finally, you will find large hordes of mongooses and over 23 species of bats, mostly living in the caves of Cockpit Country Park.
