Flora and fauna of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's flora and fauna are diverse, reflecting its tropical climate and varied ecosystems. The island hosts lush rainforests, dry forests, coastal mangroves, and mountain ecosystems, supporting a wide array of plant and animal species. You’ll find vibrant orchids, towering hardwood trees, and colorful bromeliads. Wildlife includes the endangered Puerto Rican parrot, various hummingbirds, coquí frogs (famous for their chirping), and unique reptiles like the Puerto Rican boa.
