Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island known for its lush landscapes and beautiful beaches, is also home to several species of potentially dangerous animals. While most of the island’s wildlife is harmless and fascinating, certain creatures warrant extra caution due to their venomous or otherwise threatening attributes.Among the more dangerous animals inhabiting Puerto Rico are the brown recluse spider, whose venomous bite can cause tissue damage and necrosis, and the Puerto Rican racer snake, a carnivorous reptile found in forests and coastal plains.
