Leftover context:

Thats were the bats live. Unfortunately the Snakes 🐍 also live their and try to eat the bats 🦇 mid-air.

They stick to the wall in a pretty cool way(last pic)

Because I've got nothing to do except watching Movies, have some documentary pics that I don't have any context to, part 2

Actually I do have some context, here's what I remember:

They lay eggs in the water but can't swim as grown-ups.

They cross the busy road to get to the sea while cars use it and often get crushed.

Noone cares to put a fence at the side of the street where the crabs🦀 come from to put them on the other side. (we do that for frogs over here, there's fences with buckets every meter and people just empty the buckets with the frogs on the other side of the street like twice to three times a day so they can get to the water)

To lay their eggs in the water, they hang from the stone slope and shake that booty

Sometimes they fall into the water themself and die there because they can't survive (in the salty water or something like that)

#WoahNatureCuba2:

The cuban iguana.

With a length of 1,5m/4'9'' they are one of the biggest iguanas. They weigh between 8 and 13 lbs(4-6kg).

They're ectotherm which means cold blooded.

They eat vegetables and fruits and sometimes insects. They don't have many natural enemies but some humans might catch and sell or even eat them!

They are really calm and enjoy laying around on one spot as long as it's not breeding season. At that time the males fight for the females.

The female lays eggs, which the hatchlings hatch from about 2,5-3,5 month later with a size of 10-11 inches(26-28cm) and 0,40-0,46 kilograms weight.

The Cuba iguana has been isolated from its relatives on the mainland for 3 million years. They have developed their own species.

#WoahNatureCuba1 :

The bee hummingbird

This little fellow is the smallest hummingbird known(bit bigger than a bee). It's only about 2 inches tall and gets up to 7 years old.

Its wings move up to 90 times per second. They shimmer multi-colored.

They eat nectar and pollen just as bees! They might get eaten by reptiles, birds and even spiders.

They built their nest from spiderwebs which they steal while trying to not get eaten. They also cover them in very small leaves to protect them from rain. The nest is about the size of a table tennis ball.

The eggs are barely the size of a pea and the bee hummingbird hatches them for about three weeks.

When they're born, bee hummingbirds are blind and defenseless. Within four (4) days they double up their weight.

After about two and a half (2,5) weeks they already start practicing to fly.

Here's some pictures:
