Swamp
This protected forest reserve is located close to the Manzanilla Beach
on Trinidad’s east coast and the Bush Bush Wildlife Sanctuary is within
the swamp. The Sanctuary is home to over 200 species of birds and
animals. Howler monkeys are a common sight as are parrots, butterflies,
porcupines, alligators, anteaters, anacondas and other animals within
the 24 sq. miles of wetland, marshes and swamp.
Over 50 species of mammals call the Nariva Swamp home. It is the
largest freshwater wetland in Trinidad and Tobago.
