The Cancún Hotel Zone is renowned not only for its spectacular Caribbean beaches but also for its diverse birdlife. Along the coastline, it is common to see frigatebirds soaring effortlessly overhead, Brown Pelicans plunge-diving for fish, and Ospreys circling above the water in search of prey. Doves, herons, songbirds, and many other resident species can also be found throughout the beaches, mangroves, and landscaped gardens. The combination of open sea, coastal lagoons, and urban green spaces creates an ideal habitat for a wide variety of birds, making Cancún a destination where tropical wildlife and world-class seaside scenery come together.

坎昆酒店区（Hotel Zone）不仅拥有闻名世界的加勒比海风光，也是众多海鸟和热带鸟类的栖息地。沿着海岸漫步，常能看到军舰鸟（Frigatebird）在高空轻盈滑翔、褐鹈鹕（Brown Pelican）俯冲入海捕鱼，以及鱼鹰（Osprey）盘旋于海面寻找猎物。此外，各种鸽类、鹭类、鸣禽和其他本地常见鸟类也活跃于海滩、红树林与园林之间。海洋、潟湖和城市绿地交织的环境，为丰富的鸟类资源提供了理想栖息地，也让坎昆成为加勒比地区兼具度假与观鸟体验的独特目的地。

Lizards of Cancún Hotel Zone 坎昆酒店区的蜥蜴

The Cancún Hotel Zone is not only famous for its stunning Caribbean coastline but also for its diverse reptile life. Among the most commonly encountered lizards are the Green Iguana, Black Spiny-tailed Iguana, and Brown Anole. The large Green Iguana is often seen resting in trees, feeding on leaves and fruit, while the agile Black Spiny-tailed Iguana prefers sunlit rocks, seawalls, and urban structures. Much smaller in size, the Brown Anole inhabits shrubs and gardens, feeding on insects and displaying its colorful throat fan during territorial and courtship displays.

American Crocodile in Río Lagartos 拉加托斯湖的美洲鳄

The American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) is one of the most widespread crocodilian species in the Americas, inhabiting estuaries, coastal lagoons, and mangrove wetlands from Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean. The brackish waterways of Río Lagartos provide ideal habitat for both adult and juvenile crocodiles. Adults can exceed 5 metres in length and serve as apex predators within the wetland ecosystem, while juveniles, distinguished by their more pronounced dark banding, feed primarily on insects, small fish, and amphibians.

美洲鳄（American Crocodile，学名 Crocodylus acutus）是美洲分布最广的鳄鱼之一，栖息于中美洲、加勒比海及墨西哥沿海的河口、潟湖和红树林湿地。里奥拉加托斯（Río Lagartos）丰富的咸淡水交汇环境，为成年与幼年美洲鳄提供了理想的栖息地。成年个体体型庞大，最长可超过5米，是湿地生态系统中的顶级捕食者；幼鳄则体型纤细，身上的深色条纹更为明显，主要以昆虫、小鱼和两栖动物为食。
