Wildlife on Fantasy Island

There were many lovely creatures to entertain us during our stay.

These first two pictures show you what I have affectionately name 'Sqrabbits' since they look a lot like a mix between squirrles and rabbits. They have long hind quarters and hop around much like rabbits, but their colouring and facial features resemble squirrles. They were fun to watch in the evenings (see little creatures in the first picture below) when they came out to forage for scraps left by the sun bathers.




There were also several kinds of iguanas the went slinking here and there when it was quiet and safe.






The monkeys were more friendly and tame - as you can see, they have a taste for sugar (pop in particular), even though the tourists were not supposed to feed them. They would often play in the trees just behind our lounging chairs on the beach.
