Just some of the things the students saw last year:

Last year myself (Gillian), Kirsty and Chloe took part in the 2010 Trinidad Expedition, and all 3 of us cannot wait to head back, and are very excited for our fellow 2011 team members to experience the magic of Trinidad.

We thought it'd be cool to show you guys just some of the beautiful wildlife we saw last year. (See below).

Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), Las Cuevas beach.

  • Do you guys know the differences between turtles and tortoise?

Monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusa trinitatis), Lopinot.

  • What kind of things do you think threaten amphibians?

Green iguana lizard (Iguana iguana), Lopinot.

  • Have you ever thought what might an iguana eat?

Trinidad bat (unsure of exact species), Tamana cave.

  • How do you think many species of bats go about catching their prey at night?

White-necked Jacobin humming bird (Florisuga mellivora), Asa Wright Nature centre.
NB: This is a wild bird.

  • Do you guys know how many species of birds there are in Trinidad (and Tobago)? There are few places in the world where so many bird species can be seen in such a small area!
Please comment below :D
