4 unusual facts about Northern Range


El Cerro del Aripo

It is part of the Aripo Massif and is located in the Northern Range on the island of Trinidad, northeast of the town of Arima.

Guppy

For example, during the wet season from May to December, guppies in the Northern Range of Trinidad reduce their investment in reproduction regardless of predation level, possibly in response to decreased food resources.

Justicia flaviflora

Specifically, it is only known from several locations in the Heights of Aripo, one of the highest points in Trinidad's Northern Range.

Northern Range

The hills rise abruptly from the lowlands of northern Trinidad (the so-called East-West Corridor), but only the two tallest peaks, El Cerro del Aripo and El Tucuche top 900 m.
