There are many [[List of birds of Hispaniola|bird species in Hispaniola]], and [[List of amphibians of Hispaniola|the island's amphibian species]] are also diverse. There are many species endemic to the island including insects and other invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, birds and mammals (originally animals, native animals) and also (imported animals, introduced animals, not native animals or invasive species) like farm animals, transport animals, house animals, pets and more. The two endemic terrestrial mammals on the island are the [[Hispaniolan hutia]] (''Plagiodontia aedium'') and the [[Hispaniolan solenodon]] (''Solenodon paradoxus''). There are also many birds on the island, with six endemic genera (''[[Calyptophilus]]'', ''[[Palmchat|Dulus]]'', ''[[Nesoctites]]'', ''[[Phaenicophilus]]'', ''[[Xenoligea]]'' and ''[[Microligea]]''). More than half of the original distribution of its ecoregions has been lost due to habitat destruction impacting the local fauna and some of the original animals either threat, threatened with extinction or totally extinct, because of climate change or because they have been hunted by humans or their habitats have been felled or changed for some reasons or have become some of the animals have been threatened by (introduced animals, not native animals or invasive species) or there are fighting for space to survive and perhaps some animals that feed on the same plants or animals or just something like that.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldwildlife.org/ecoregions/nt0305|title=The island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean|website=World Wildlife Fund|access-date=October 4, 2018|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
