ANIMALS OF AMBERGRIS
Ambergris differs from the other cayes of Belize in that it was once a peninsula, and even now only a small channel separates us from mainland Mexico. Because of this, we have a rich and exciting ecosystem full of wildlife not found on the other cayes. The thousands of acres of jungle on the north side in particular are home to hundreds of different mammals, birds, and reptiles, making this island truly unique.
