Fauna
Bonaire has one of the largest Caribbean flamingo colonies in the Western Hemisphere. There are said to be over 15,000 flamingoes on the island, and they can be seen wading in Goto Meer Bay in the northwest, in the salt lake near Playa Grandi, and in Lac Bay on the southeast coast of Bonaire, feeding on algae which give them their striking rose-pink color. It is an impressive sight to witness the flamingoes rising from the water in the evening as they prepare to overnight in Venezuela.
About 190 species of birds have been found on Bonaire as well as the flamingoes, one of them is the indigenous Bonaire Green Parrot. One can spot the different species gathering in the afternoon at Pos i Mangel and at the Salt Pans, for instance.
The big blue lizards are endemic to Bonaire; there are lots of them and iguanas of all shapes and sizes.
The most common mammal you are likely to see is the goat, herds of which roam the island eating everything in sight except the cacti.
