Never knew a Hutia existed till today, cuban animals are interesting
New animal excised so what ?!
You want to see the women
@Bernar Garcia Beautiful creatures
@Bernar Garcia I must have been confused between the women and the cars.
@Bernar Garcia I must have lost some years. I thought they loved their classic American cars in Cuba.
Hutias also used to live in Puerto Rico many, many years ago, they were a food source of the Taíno natives. The Puerto Rican hutias are extinct, but thankfully they still exist in other Caribbean islands.
Hi
@@lifeonearth1911 Hey.
proof communism is good for animals
@@bri1085do they bite?
Bro I thought y’all still had jutias there
Thanks for posting this, as a Cuban American it’s fascinating to see and lovely
Id love to learn more about Cuba and visit, wish relations were better between our countries :(
What capybaras would look like if they lived in nyc subway stations
LOL FR
Or, a cross between a mole and a nutria😆
Its so cool, like a cross between a capibara and a opossum :)
And a raccoon! The legs and torso kinda give off the shape...
Fun fact: in Puerto Rico the 'Jutías' (hutias) were pretty much hunted to extinction by the native tainos. Spaniard accounts tell how they were hunted and how rare they were (they were the largest land animal by far then in the island).
Uh no the ones that hunted them to extinction was the Europeans the tainos didn't hunt them daily because they were both farmers and hunters they knew how to control populations of their foods
They were still eating in Cuba until the 1950s apparently they taste like rabbit.
This is the first documentary about cuba i saw!
sad
Imagine waking up one morning and seeing all those crabs outside your window 🤦🏾♂️
I’d just throw the key at them. It’s their house now lol.
You’d complain over breakfast coming to your house?
@@rayperez5918 not when it's trying to crawl in my window
Cuban animals are wonderful creatures. I wish I could have them dwelling in my house.
Wow, those red crabs are awesome. ❤️🥺
So cute🤩🤩
Animals are more fun to watch than people. Period
Hi
I like the music that started playing when the crabs came on😉😀
Great narration too
Never knew what a Hutia was .
Amazing .
👍🏼
Wow! Wildlife in cuba is very different from what we see in Africa . Av learnt something new today. Thank you for sharing!
Everyday brand new footages on all new Animal Kingdom!! Thanks BBC Earth 😍👌🙌
So cute they look
Beautiful Caverage. 💮💮🇮🇳
The narrator has an excellent voice!
Seem like Cuba has alot animals
Very good
I have seen rats in New York just as big I swear.
Some are bigger than a small dog. Sewer rat's are HUGE
Woah thats big for a rat. How they get that big tho?
@@Bebedollie chihuahua sized
@@herpallday1284 thats pretty big still. I got rats where i live in new zealand cos i live in the country by a river and streams . The rats from the river are quite big. But my dog kills them
@@Bebedollie New York rats drink 40’s and have du rags I don’t think they’re scared of dogs 🤣
The Hutia on the thumbnail: *Hey*
Thank you.
This kinda looks like a lesser capybara
incredible red crab👍👍👍👍
Fun fact: the Pacific ocean’s version of these Cuban red crabs 🦀 are the red crabs that live on Christmas Island. 🇨🇽
So cute that Cavy-like rodent Hutia!!
Hi
Looks like a mouse, is closer to a guinea pig. Some rodents are quite deceiving in appearance.
the way they introduce the crabs is so funny to me
So amazing story
Always nice seeing a animal species you've never seen before.
its fascinating to learn how Cuban rodent and crab families habilitate surviving on plant and herb patches near the caribbean sea.
This video interesting
This is very interesting... 👍
This is the real Master Splinter!
Hutia = Quarantine life
سبحان الله العظيم في خلقه
Unbelievable...
EXCELLENT WORK BY BBC EARTH
Didn’t even know these existed till I played far cry 6.
i love animals :3
SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i would not want to be swimming in millions of larvae lol
SO THİSİS VERY GOOOOOD VİDİOO
Solenodon was mammal incredibly awesomely!
Nice
Cuban rodents, okay, but air breathing land crabs that travel 10 kilometers to lay their eggs in the sea 🤯
Have you never heard of the Christmas Island red crab? They also live on land, breathe air, and travel long distances to the sea just to lay their eggs.
Thank you so much !
it's true...i had been at Cuba for 7 years, one night i had to travel many kilometers at a ocean-side road which was full of them and taxi had no other option left but to have its tyres over them to pass from there....just imagin!!
3.10 made my skin crawl. 😬😲
Hutia- pre-evolved form of Capybara.
Air breathing land crabs are much better than land breathing air crabs.
Anyone know what that guitar piece is called and who composed and/or performed it?
3:10 Can you imagine them accidentally getting into your house and then climbing into bed with you in the middle of the night?... That's a big nope for me.
@Bernar Garcia I used to live in a town called Dania and we had huge land crabs that would be running around all over the place. Sometimes when you would go to open your door and if you weren't paying attention they would run right into the house. But they weren't anywhere near the epic proportions of the crabs in Cuba.
@@beautyforashes2022 are they edible?
@@an.axolotl5812 yes, you can eat them. But I've never known anyone who has.
Suuuuuuuuuuupeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr
Wouldn’t mind them crabs coming up on my window I’d be having crab every night for dinner
Lol, happens once a year tho
When I was in the army I saw few of those animals while I was in the post. I miss our ocean, the nature of my island.
Central America has crabs like that on both coasts. Billions of them.
They are known in Spanish as jutía. In Cuba, where food is scarce, both la jutia and the cangrejos (crabs) are a good source of food.
why dump them in the ocean only to go back on land? What makes them not be able to do that on land? (would the eggs dry out/be picked off?)
I remember hunting them like crazy in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
Those giant rodents are lush
Hutias are endearing.
- Å fan!
3:12 Honey, get the boiling pot ready!
First hehe finally, so happy I have notification for this channel
🥇
Hi
Hi
Damn I didn’t even knew this thing existed till now
Wow I wantto
I ate one of these in cubas lmao. The locals there catch and cook them
Tikoooooss.... ih geliiikk... 🥵🥵🥵😨😨😨
I love your accent, it’s beautiful, as is the video.
Did he say "size of a small dog??"
@Bernar Garcia Its largest/and longest/and tallest males can indeed be around as large, long and tall as a Chihuahua ,Shi Thu and other small dog breeds, just saying✌🤘👌👍
Insular dwarfism. All around the Caribbean, animals tend to be smaller because they evolved in a limited-range environment.
For a rodent that’s pretty big
Phil Lamar is that you💯
They kinda look like capibara mixed kangaroo
👍👍👍
They kinda look like a- foosa.... If that’s spelled right.
It's pronounced foosa, but it's spelled fossa.
Btw an cuban and jutias taste amazing they are so good to eat
Hey
Wish I could watch the full episodes
0:55 Can anybody else see the Rhino standing near the shoreline?
It's time to look far and daydream 🌳🌲💚💚
Phil the Solenodon he's is voice actor played by Jim Carrey. From Sonic 2.
Small capybara...
i would be the crabs that took a wrong turn
I'm from Cuba and I had never seen a jutía before lol
Monte adentro las hay, depende de donde vivas
Looks like capybara
Far cry 6 is why I’m here
Cuban here. We eat jutias. We also sacrifice them to the Orishas, cuz. . . Cuba. . .
And then some people will claim that there is no God (Designer of the earth and the creatures that live in it): Where did these crabs learn how to get to the seashore, lay their eggs, and the eggs after hatching find their way back on land and start that 10-kilometer journey back to where their parents are? It definitely wasn't from a BIG BANG. You are an awesome mighty God, Lord Jesus.
They have similar body shape to capybara.
Watching this help me to slp
seems these are capybaras who left the Amazon river because of the anacondas eating them like humans eat hotdogs.
Looks like he is about to start a new chemical factory
Dnld Reacher from playstore it's revelutionary 😲😉
BBC✨
If that’s how crabs hatch then humans must get crabs from swimming in the ocean right???? Or were we born from the Ocean?? 🤔
11 billion crabs
All over the Caribbean the natives ate them but the damn Europeans killed them off smh only in cuba they couldn't get all since cuba is huge
Look like dassies /hyraxes
