The Animals of Punta Cana

Ok, only three posts about Punta Cana left and that’s it. My fingers are getting tired.
During our short trip, we saw many different animals that were pretty foreign to us. After all, I have never actually seen a real Pink Flamingo in our front yard. I am just going to post the pictures with some descriptions below them. I really don’t know what any of them are, so maybe you can help out with that if you recognize something.
During breakfast, there were a few kids who liked to feed the fish little pieces of bread. The fish went crazy for this, but so did the ducks. This was a pretty agressive duck that came by to stir things up.
One of the first things I noticed after showing up, was the good number of peacocks at the resort. They were near the pool, on the sidewalk and, like in this photo, on people’s porches. Instead of roosters, we heard peacocks screaming like kids in the morning.
I saw a few of these unidentified lizards here. I remember the first time I saw a lizard like this in Florida. I just thought it was the most amazing thing. I kept trying to get a good picture of this one, but he would keep hiding on the other side of the tree.
I have also never seen a live pink flamingo (I think). These birds are neat because their legs bend opposite of the way ours do. They also sleep standing on one leg with their heads tucked in their backs.
This is a good photo of a bird (I am not sure what kind of bird) with its new little chicks. They were just walking around chilling out with the rest of us.
The pictures above are of the different kinds of fish that were in the ponds. The last one is of this huge carp that looked kind of lonesome. The others were various tropical fish. I mentioned earlier that I actually used to have some of these types of fish in my old tropical fish tank at home.

the bird you could not identify in the pictures is a female peacock with her babies.
