Cuba : wild island of the Caribbean / an ORF Universum, Thirteen/WNET New York and Devillier Donegan Enterprises co-production ; written and produced by Paul Reddish.
Narrator, Eduardo Trucco. Originally broadcast as a part of the PBS television program Nature.
Summary:
More than half of Cuba's plants and animals, including more than 80 percent of its reptiles and amphibians, are found nowhere else on earth. Situated in the Pacific Ocean 100 million years ago, the forces of continental drift brought Cuba to the Caribbean. Species that arrived by air, sea and possible land bridges adapted to their new environment in isolation, naturally preserved and relatively unexplored. The Cuban government granted unprecedented access to the island's coral reefs, swamps, forests and caves for the filming of this program.
