With the weather of a tropical island as Mauritius there are lots of small animals and insects as mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, lizards or geckos and spiders but nothing poisonous.

 

The small geckos are quite good as pets if we can call them pets, just because they eat the small insects and mosquitoes found in your house.

 

There is also on the island some scorpions species but they are not dangerous at all.

 

There is also in Mauritius some animals considered as endangered species as the Mauritius Pink Pigeon.

 

The dodo is a bird that is now an extinct species.

 

The dodo existed very long time ago. The dodo was a flightless bird which could be easily captured. Most of the dodos have been captured by the Dutch who settled on the island and the rest were of the dodos and their eggs have been eaten by the animals, pigs and rats which have been introduced on the island the Dutch.

So no worries when coming to Mauritius Island, you will not find any dangerous animals around, just take some mosquito cream against the mosquitoes. Or else come and enjoy the blue sea and white sandy beaches of the island.
