Cuba Wild Island of the Caribbean - Go Wild

Cuba is a tropical paradise. It is the largest and yet least known island in the Caribbean. In recent years it has become famous for its old American cars, Fidel Castro's brand of communism, cigars and rum. Millions of tourists visit each year to enjoy the tropical climate and the wonderful beaches and warm seas.But there is another Cuba, the little known wildlife of this Caribbean island. Over half the plants and animals are found nowhere else on earth. Over 80% of the reptiles and amphibians are uniquely Cuban. They include the smallest four-legged animal on earth and the world's most aggressive crocodile. This programme looks at these little known creatures and investigates how they arrived on Cuba and when?The Story starts in the Caribbean Sea. Cuba has many unspoilt reefs that team with colourful fish. This is due in part to the recent communist regime, for there has been strict control over boats and very limited fishing.. So the reefs have remained pristine, a glimpse of how the rest of the Caribbean looked before development degraded so much.

[@10laws2liveby]

One thing that Cuba developed that I enjoy most is its music. It contains all the best musical qualities ever written. Jazz progressions, Baroque scales, African rhythms, country lyrics, and the soul of a people that endured all that life could throw at them. Yet rise above it all dancing with a smile on their face. Viva La Cuba.

Glory and honour be to JESUS CHRIST, how beautiful is the work of his creation, all the creation and the universe 🌌 displays his glory and how genius GOD IS. Surely there is nothing GOD can't do, and he loves us so much that He sent his only Son (JESUS CHRIST) to die for us, so that we can be saved and inherit HEAVEN. ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO INHERIT THE GLORIOUS KINGDOM OF GOD (HEAVEN) THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST

But then there are the Cuban People, my pick for world champion hosts and dearest friends--they make you feel like you are part of their family, and when it's time to depart you have to wipe away your tears, just to say goodbye.

[@royormonde3682]

Ya sure that all happened at the beginning there with the sick fish and the sharks zeroing in on him. The cameras were just lucky I guess. No disrespect but this type of setup has been going on for like forever. My first ever memory of this was when Mutual of Omaha filmed that unexplained freak of nature thing when hundreds of buffalo or something along those lines, stampeded of that cliff to their death back in the 70's in Africa. How tragic it all must have been to watch and film that horror in progress. LOL, it turn out that there was a chase car just off camera running them over the cliff. There was many more tales and reports of this type of filming brought to light as I grew up, some shows were even canceled after the it was revealed. So I wonder what did they do to that fish to make him limp? I'll bet they slit his spine near the tail fin.

[@deborahswart1718]

I love the colourful doct. But it is truly getting annoying how the narrator keeps repeating things like an XXX million years ago like a flippem mantra! Ppl just don't know how long ago; it's just guesswork! The methodology they use is as untrustworthy as an Emmerthaler full of holes.

I frickin LOVE the underlying theme of 'finding the earliest fauna' of the island, with the narrative eventually ending with the scene of flamingoes in the sunset at the end. SOOO GOOOD. it gives this documentary a serious edge over just being another nature documentary.

[@slapchannel8695]

if the crab's movement is predicted then government can reroute traffic during those days or if crab's take the same route than they can build little tunnels for crabs to pass safely under the road. it wouldn't cost a lot of money just some consideration from the people

And the scene with the crabs doing dancing-like moves under the sea tho... had to laugh!! so cute and hilarious crabby putting on a rumba haha ... that was soo so cool, and the whole visual of it with the movement of the sea with the camera moves, such a nice music selection.

[@breAnnasmama]

Can’t remember If National Geographic produced this one or which network was actually responsible , but while it was a good one , I never cared for the narrator choice .. Cuba could’ve Bn documented in a robust way with just a whole other vibe going on ..: but it was still a good one. This channel should be giving Credit to all these actual networks that have already produced and shown these videos, before they just take them and put them on their KZbin channel as if they actually have anything to do with any of the work involved or ownership ,, because they do NOT , not in the slightest ... these channels shouldn’t be plastering ads during content they have to commit copyright infringement just to be posting , just so they can selfishly profit off it ! If they’d really cared to , they could’ve just added on the title and in description that they do not aim to claim any of these videos as being their own property or having any rights to them , but are solely sharing for educational purposes only, like many legit channels do when they’re ever borrowing the work of all these major networks that own it all and rightfully have a say as to what is done with their content / property ! It’s sad that these channels change the titles and descriptions and post things and leave such details in the description as if they’re somehow owning or taking part in anything collectively with the actual rightful entities that do in fact , own and contributed to the production or filming or editing of or airing of these documentaries, just so these KZbin channels can profit off monetizing ads. That’s a big no no !!! The idea is for everyone to at least be able to enjoy these beautiful works and appreciate the wildlife and nature among creation that we’ve been given to take care of and nurture and be responsible for ! Lord knows it’s one thing when folks wanna share work for the sake of education or entertainment but it should be done so the right way ! That said , I’ve never reported anyone on KZbin for copyright infringement and I’m not Going to , but I won’t sit through or watch any advertisements so any KZbin channel or anyone else can benefit financially , either ..: the only time id report someone is if clearly they were taking part in violent acts against humans or animals and I do work with others to stop the posting of videos involving animal cruelty that has run rampant on KZbin , which is so wrong. And I’d report over issues of anyone victimizing anyone sexually or posting disturbing content of that nature that is a danger to others , especially toward children. I do not play over stuff like that but I would save those reports for actual law enforcement and not just Leave it up to this site when they may not truly take measures to ensure the safety and well being of ppl here and what they’re exposed to on this site .. but again , I’m not reporting over anything involving copyright or anything petty like I know some folks may do , but copyright issues while they can be petty to an extent when say, as one who happens to be an artist even if that is not my actual profession , if I were to draw / design for example, a logo to someone’s favorite sports team that’s happened to have copyright regulations pertaining to use of their logo even if created by an Artist freehanded with no use of any existing designs but just was designed by said artist - that would be a violation that some places actually do uphold. It’s silly honestly but that is what I’d call petty .. ppl stealing wk of these networks and profiting off it and passing it off to be as if they own or have any rights to it - that is wrong. Not something I’d report but doesn’t mean someone else won’t if they get bothered enough. I’ve done work on documentaries,well. It was solo lead vocal work on the soundtrack of documentaries aired nationally and I have sat in the studio while ppl worked around me on said documentaries and believe me , I know a lot of work goes into every Aspect and when some random person on KZbin thinks to hold their entitled hand out for money they didn’t earn or have any right to . That’s not taken very well imo ! At least stop plastering ads and using these vids as a way to get larger view/ click numbers and money off ads. It doesn’t belong to u.

[@andahtheo4237]

80 million years ago?when was that.

[@jeannetteparry5587]

Nowhen. As I suspect you know! The concept of evolution over millions of years is an unscientific idea based on a false philosophy. Adaptation, diversification and speciation do certainly happen, often very quickly, but they are caused by changes in already existing DNA, and in epigenetic changes which assist adaptation to a different environment. Evolution in the popular sense of completely new organisms appearing (like dinosaurs into birds or dogs into cats) would require drastic anatomical and physiological changes and the addition of masses of brand new genetic information. There is no scientific evidence that it has ever happened or that it is even possible. The cave fish have lost information not gained it. The anole lizards have always been anole lizards and show no sign even of becoming monitor or any other distinct type of lizard, let alone something else. Lovely photography but very faulty "Scientific" assumption pushed as fact!
