TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO’S

ENDEMIC BIRD SPECIES

 

The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, off the edge of South America, is usually considered part of the Caribbean.

There are two main islands, covering an area of about 5,128 square kilometres, with numerous additional smaller islets.

The landscapes include mountains and plains, with the highest point El Cerro del Aripo on the northern part, 940 metres above the sea-level.

The year includes two seasons, each lasting six months, the dry season and the rainy season. The climate is tropical.

There are about 467 bird species, but only two endemic birds, the Trinidad Piping Guan (Pipile pipile), of which local name is Pawi, and the Trinidad Motmot (Momotus bahamensis).

Only found in Trinidad’s forest, the Trinidad Piping Guan is close to extinction due to habitat destruction. However, the Trinidad Motmot has currently stable population.  

 

Endemic species:

Trinidad Motmot - Momotus bahamensis - Motmot de Trinidad

Trinidad Piping-Guan - Pipile pipile - Pénélope siffleuse
