The Hispaniolan solenodon (hiss-pan-yo-lun SUH-lee-NUH-dawn) is an extremely strange animal that lives only on the island of Hispaniola, shared by the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The solenodon has toxic saliva that flows through a grove in its teeth, making it one of only a few venomous mammals. The solenodon has essentially no natural predators, and thus evolved with very few defenses, but with the introduction of feral cats and dogs, the solenodon's future began to look bleak, and this particular species is listed as endangered.

  • The Hispaniolan solenodon is a small, insect-eating mammal. It is found only on the Caribbean island of Hispaniolan, but a close cousin lives on the nearby island of Cuba. Both species are endangered because large numbers of solenodons have been killed by the cats and dogs introduced by human settlers.
