These mangroves are populated by protected native species of flora and fauna, such as Hutias (giant rats), turtles, wild pigs. Bats, tortoises, and the shy Manatee reside in the caves and mangrove systems The park is also home to the solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus) a small insectivore mammal (above) endemic from the island in the forest.

 Haitises' Caves & Caverns :The Dominican Republic has the most extensive cave system in the Caribbean many of which contain over 1000 year old artwork.
