Yucatán Native Animals

The Yucatán’s limestone plains, tropical forests, and coastal lagoons provide a home for a variety of wildlife. Native pollinators and small mammals live among open scrub and shaded groves, while migratory birds rest along the shore and inland wetlands. Reptiles are common in sunny areas, and amphibians thrive in seasonal rains. Changes in weather bring shifts in activity and movement across the region.
