Lake Enriquillo
Lake Enriquillo is home to the largest population of American crocodiles ("Crocodylus acutus") in the Caribbean. Three species of fish inhabit the lake: the blackbanded limia ("Limia melanonotata"), the Hispaniolan gambusia ("Gambusia hispaniolae"), and the Hispaniola pupfish ("Cyprinodon bondi"). Two endangered iguanas endemic to Hispaniola live sympatrically on Isla Cabritos: the Ricord's iguana ("Cyclura ricordii"), and the rhinoceros iguana ("Cyclura cornuta"). The endemic Hispaniola racer ("Haitiophis anomalus"), a snake, is also native to the area. Among the numerous bird species found at the lake, American flamingos ("Phoenicopterus ruber") are prominent; flocks of flamingos are especially concentrated on Isla Cabritos and near the eastern end of the lake.
