Outside the world of politics, Cuba is perhaps best known for its culture, cigars and classic cars. But it is also a tropical paradise, the largest and most unspoiled island in the Caribbean, and home to an array of uniquely Cuban wildlife. Through a special arrangement with the Cuban government, unprecendented access was granted to film the astonishing diversity of life on the island, ranging from the incredibly small to the unimaginably large - including pea-size frogs, butterfly bats, leaping crocodiles, millions of land crabs, tiny bee hummingbirds, a colony of 100,000 flamingos, and 450-pound fish. Over half of the plants and animals on Cuba are found nowhere else on earth. But how did they get there to begin with? Follow the surprising stories of the travels and origins of Cuba's wildlife, and go back in time to follow the travels and origins of the island itself, which is perhaps the most surprising story of all. For the island was not born in the Caribbean, but in the Pacific!
