I believe this could be the Tadpole of the American Bullfrog which was introduced to Jamaica in the late sixties. At one time we believed that it would be a cheap source of protein for the island. However it did not work out as planned and is now spreading in our waters. #Roostersworldja #Bullfrog

The mongoose was introduced to Jamaica in 1872 to control rats in sugar cane fields but it quickly became one of the worst invasive species on the island. It preys on our native lizards, snakes, frogs, birds, and their eggs, pushing some species to extinction and others to the brink. To conservationists, the mongoose is a major threat that must be managed, especially around sensitive nesting areas. To some people it is a pet. We need to have conversation about it.

Did you know? If you catch an armored catfish or tilapia in Florida, then, it is illegal to release it back to the waters.

Bussu (Neritina punctulata) is a freshwater snail found in rivers of Portland 🇯🇲—especially the Rio Grande Valley It clings to rocks in clean, fast-flowing water, making it a powerful indicator of healthy rivers 🌿💧 Traditionally used in bussu soup 🍲, locals say it helps to “strengthen the back” 💪🏾 But today, bussu faces threats from pollution, and invasive species Protect the river → protect the culture Follow RoostersWorldja to learn more about Jamaica’s biodiversity

The blue catfish is an invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay that's ravaging ecosystems & hurting our economy. But here’s the good news: they’re VERY good eating. And working with watermen on the Shore, we're delivering federal $$ to help turn this problem into an opportunity⬇️

The Westwood High School for Girls, located in Stewart Town, Trelawny, is one of Jamaica’s oldest girls’ schools (founded 1882). The school’s campus was impacted by Hurricane Melissa, and support is needed to help rebuild and restore both its educational and boarding facilities. If you’re able to assist, please help in any way you can — donations, materials, volunteers, or through spreading the word. #RoostersWorldja #WestwoodHigh #Trelawny #HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica #Education #CommunitySupport #RebuildTogether

Did you know that this call you’re hearing in this video and also throughout our urban areas and disturbed forests in Jamaica started back in 1890, when the Lesser Antillean Whistling Frog (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) was introduced to the island? This tiny frog has since spread widely and is now one of the most common nighttime sounds across Jamaica. Follow RoostersWorldja to learn more about nature.

That’s the Mango Hummingbird, one of the four hummingbird species found in Jamaica. This species is endemic, and it’s not something you normally see perched on someone’s shoulder! I’m happy to see people doing their part to help our wildlife, especially now in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. Please follow and share your observations to RoostersWorldja.

I used to fill a container and soak my vegetables in salt water. After a presentation by parasitologist Dr. Marco Dean Brown at the Department of Life Sciences, I learned that it’s actually better to wash vegetables under running water. When you wash vegetables in a bucket, you may be spreading parasites from contaminated produce to vegetables that were not infected.
