The Antiguan racer is a rare snake that lives only on small islands near Antigua in the Caribbean Sea. It is a slender and fast predator that hunts lizards during the day.
The Antiguan racer differs by having a very small range and specialization in hunting local lizards. It is important to the island's nature as a predator that controls the population of other animals.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
