Mauritius, an island paradise in the Indian Ocean, boasts unique wildlife due to its isolated location. While the total number of species might be lower compared to other places, a high proportion are found nowhere else on Earth. The island’s native mammals are mainly bats, but introduced species like deer and macaques also roam the island. Mauritius is a haven for birdwatchers with the likes of the pink pigeon, a rare blush-colored bird, and the Mauritius kestrel, a bird of prey that was once on the brink of extinction.
