Trinidad and Tobago Central Ridge Tobago
In Tobago the central ridge supports forests less dense than Trinidad’s but still rich in wildlife including several species which do not occur in Trinidad. The cocrico, or rufous-vented chacacalaca, is one of these and is the national bird of Tobago. A few like the ocellated gecko have been found nowhere else in the world. Indeed, together, with an area of slightly more than five thousand square kilometers, Trinidad and Tobago have an exceptionally rich biodiversity, the richest in the Caribbean.
