Answer 7

The National Symbol is the hummingbirds.

Jamaican fauna, as that of the Caribbean islands generally, includes highly diversified bird life. There are over 200 bird species here, 27 of which are endemic. Parrots, green todies, cuckoos, pelicans and the national symbol hummingbirds are especially abundant. Human activity produced a negative effect on the island's animal life - due to the severe reduction of natural habitats the majority of indigenous quadrupeds have disappeared or are endangered. There are no large mammals present. The only native land mammal is the endangered Jamaican hutia, or cony, a large brown rodent looking like a guinea pig. Mongooses, imported from India in the 19th century, are common in wild.
