Perhaps the most infamous animal that many people think of when they hear "Island of Guam" is the brown tree snake.

There are also boonie dogs (dogs from the jungle), boonie cats, wild chickens, wild pigs, deer, carabao (a type of water buffalo introduced by Asian influences), iguanas of all sizes, monitor lizards, lots of toads, crabs (the dungeness kind), coconut crabs (though I think stateside people call them palm thief crabs), hermit crabs (all over the place), slugs, roaches, fruit bats, quite a few birds of which includes Mariana Fruit doves, Mariana crows, lots of fish: eels, catfish, stonefish, rainbow fish, angelfish, clown fish, killifish, loaches, tilapia, parrot fishm, rabbit fish, guppies, even octopus and sea cucumbers, some sharks include tigers sharks and some nurse sharks, along with sea turtles that come by and lay their eggs on the beach and the list goes on and on.

Guam also has some endemic animals and plants. The most well known ones are the Ko'ko' bird (the Guam rail) and the Ifit tree.
