Wild fauna is associated to xerophyte coastal vegetation, mangrove-tree
and rosewood communities. There we find some endemic daytime butterflies
such as Kricogonia cabrerai, Atlantea perezi, both belonging to
the Pieridae family; Oarisma bruneri and Holguinia holguin from
the Hesperiidae family. Among the arachnids, it is common to spot
the endemic scorpion species Microtityus fundorai, and the Centruroides
anchorelus. Along the coastal dry vegetation one can find, under
the stones, one of the snake species of the zone "majá
bobo" (Tropidophis haetianuys), which is no longer than a meter
(3,28 ft.)
Bird population is characterized by the presence of the long-tailed
sparrow-hawk (Accipiter gundlachi), endangered endemic rapacious
species that flies in the northern part of the region.
