| ¡Tiburón! .jpg)
This 'shark' (tiburón) was spotted in a gas station here in San Pedro de Macorís. The real thing might be found off shore. However, the larger sharks generally do not frequent this area, though some nurse sharks are on the local reefs. Stingrays (mostly Southern Rays) are common here. The Bahamas are a more likely spot to see large sharks. The Caribbean reefs here have a large varietry of tropical fish common to the western caribbean, hard and soft corals, crustaceans (lobsters and crabs), seasonal jellyfish, invertibrates (such as tube worms and fire worms), and some more exotic animals (such as the Caribbean Reef Squid). The large Samana bay on the north east edge of the island is a great place for whale watching, with a number of tours and excursions available. The humpback whales enter the bay during the early months of the year to mate, breed, and calve . .jpg)
