The Tinian monarch is a small bird about 15 centimeters long. It lives only on Tinian Island in the Pacific Ocean and has dark plumage on top and white below.
The Tinian monarch differs from related species by living only on one small island. It is important for nature because it eats insects and serves as an indicator of forest health.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
