Trinidad is also a bucket list country for bird watchers, it is renowned for having around ~500 species, very impressive indeed.

[@Wabeeninc]

U see them around often in busses by caroni usually

[@christelwalters8709]

In term of wild life, it's probably worth noting that Trinidad has the Green Anaconda, worlds largest snake, and is the only Caribbean island to do so. We are also only one of two Caribbean countries,(along with Margarita) to have the Ocelot.

Saw someone say our flag is a "Tanzania Junior" in the comments. Tanzania may be larger both geographically and poplulation wise than we are but I must point out our Flag was designed and commissioned FIRST. Please do look it up. BOTH flag are beautiful anyways. Thank you. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

After three years of watching Geography Now, I finally get to see my country. thank you geography now gang for putting your amazing talent and love for this show into the T&T episode . I would say any one thing you missed is talking about the leatherback turtles (which are the largest and oldest of the sea turtles) are most known for coming to Trinidad for nesting and that we have the one of the largest nesting population leatherback sea turtles in the world. If any of the geography now gang gets a chance to come back to Trinidad & Tobago, totally recommend going to see them, it is an amazing experience.

[@nathanaelcudjoe4165]

Thank you💯❤️🇹🇹we appreciate you

Trinidad's Queen’s Park Savannah is Port of Spain’s largest open recreational space. Covered with low grass, the 3. 5 km (2 miles) perimeter of the Savannah, as it is called by locals, is lined with large beautiful samaan and poui trees.

[@kronic66]

It is also the world's largest roundabout

[@Wabeeninc]

@@kronic66 natural* s.korea built one years ago to beat it

[@kronic66]

@@Wabeeninc right now the largest depends on the definition of a roundabout. Malaysia and Trinidad are both claiming the largest. S.Korea is no where as big as these 2.

[@curtisjohnson9910]

The fences around the savannah was there since 1906

[@mmarsaaa]

Although I've personally always been annoyed with the concept of a country with two names with the word "and", it's the first time for me to see their coat of arms, and I was just amazed, it's beautiful (just like pretty much any other British-style coat of arms). I mean, dang! The symbolism, the philosophy, colours, the motto; it's just perfect.

[@NoireTropicalBeauty]

Trini here - thanks a lot for the videos on Sweet T&T! Saw you having issues and realized you had an extra “i”. It’s “Trinbagonian” Trin-bagonian

[@CeluiEtSeul]

If you really look at the Trini flag, it really look like a bone passing through red flesh, wherr the black is the Marrow. I used to believe that's where they get the phrase, "Trini to de bone."

[@wishiwasnotthisintroverted]

Waw.... really creative perception ❤❤❤❤🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@cmullings9721]

Lol you’re almost correct. The red represents the fiery spirt and passion of our people, the white represents the white sands and purity of a new nation, the black represents the oil and fertile soil of the lands.

[@ParsProTotoSB]

Hey Barbs, maybe you could even do a special episode - or maybe even several episodes - on the natives tribes of North America. It is something people outside the US and Canada have probably very little knowledge of.

[@virginia6173]

agreed

[@wilmeradolfodiazmosquera8922]

Great job guys, i really enjoy your work!!!! I can't wait For the USA episode 🤩 Saludos desde Cali/Colombia 🇨🇴

[@abhinavmaliakal3679]

Can't wait for the next Fan Friday, Amazing Video Barb's! Trinidad and Tobago is such an interesting nation!

[@Oneka47p]

Come back for the Carnival and Christmas Season for fun times.

[@chantellesammy5646]

Nice! You must try a dash of Trinidad's Angostura bitters when mixing drinks. There's even cocoa and orange flavoured bitters too. Also Trinidad snacks are the best. Just make sure to come back for a 2nd and proper visit, either Carnival or Christmas time. Is vibes! 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@blobbybongo1448]

hi, im theo (i sent the yorkshire stuff) thank you so much for reading my letter and looking at the book i sent i really appreciate it all. i know i wrote quite a lot in the letters but where im from is something that i am very proud of. thank you again.

3:30 this bird is the cousin of the better known “Boom Chacalaca”

[@pringelsthegamefreak]

One of the most detailed and coolest coat of arms, the flag is cool too. Red, black, and white is an uncommon combination

[@jcservant2]

Glad to finally see a T & T video as a national and resident of this country. Maybe someone already correct you but combined demonym for people from each island of “Trinidadian + Tobagonian” is Not “Trini-Bagonian” but rather “Trin-Bagonian”. Just a lil fun fact about our carnival, it is The Most Replicated style of carnival in the world/inspired and birthed other carnivals in the world. A lot of other Caribbean islands draw a lot from what is produced in T&T for the festival, but major global cities where a large Trinbagonian /West Indian diaspora resides have some of the largest carnivals there. Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival, formerly called Caribana is the largest street festival in North America. New York’s Labour Day parade is also one of the other largest festivals. London’s Notting Hill Carnival is the largest street festival in Europe. All these carnivals were predominantly started by Trinidadians. The UK alone has over 40 of these carnivals in different cities, as well as other major US cities like Miami, Boston, Atlanta, and very recently Hollywood, have started these Trini-styled carnivals

[@markmolino679]

Wait, Toronto renamed their Carnival to Toronto Caribbean Carnival. Caribana was sounding better.

[@micgaming2]

Best Geography videos ever

I was hoping that someone would have corrected a slip of the tongue that Hannah made in the leading episode: Not all Nobel prizes are "Nobel Peace" prizes. V. S. Naipaul won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001.

Barbs Trinidad have closer ties to Grenada and St Vincent and the grenadines more so than Jamaica due to the similarities of their cultures. Just saying

[@shelbourneking7068]

Trinidad isn't reelly that close with Jamaica ,the main reason they said Jamaica is because the co hoste is half Jamaican .

They should have mentioned the Cedula.

Hello just a correction, "Perlas ng Silangan" actually means more like "Pearl of the Orient" or "Pearl of the Orient Seas".

[@Nquam]

I thought the colours in the flag were: red for the shed blood of the people; black for the people or the pitch lake and white for peace. I was so wrong. Thanks for educating me Barbs!

I’m from east Africa in a country where we grew up being told that our flag 🇧🇮 is the most beautiful in the world; I think every country also holds that belief😅when it comes to its own flag😊, I believed it until I saw the T&T 🇹🇹 , let me just say, I think 🇹🇹 is the most beautiful in my opinion of course. Many Other flags tend to be similar and confusing to distinguish, but 🇹🇹 just pops up in a see of flags

I always find it weird that drug stores and supermarkets in California sell hard liquor. I was in Costa Mesa like 13 years ago and went into a Vons to get some snacks and water for the hotel and I was like, “…and here’s the liquor store aisle??? What?” (I’m in New York, we have separate stores for hard stuff and most wine (supermarkets and drug stores do sell really cheap awful quality wine for those that have no taste at all.)
