According to the IUCN there are approximately 32 native species in the Bahamas, none of which are cats. The two major types of mammals that exist there (excluding bats and amphibious creatures) are Racoons and Hutia. (For quick clarification, the Hutia is a large rodent that appears similar to a groundhog.)
The accepted scientific name is Papilio andraemon bonhotei.
The hutia, a type of rodent, is primarily found on the island of Cuba. Specifically, it inhabits various regions across the island, including forests and grasslands. Some species of hutias are also found on nearby islands in the Caribbean, such as the Bahamas and Hispaniola.
Hispaniolan Hutia was created in 1836.
Imposter Hutia was created in 1929.
Lemke's Hutia was created in 1989.
The Imposter Hutia is not threatened because it is extinct
There are 11 species from Haiti which are now extinct. These are Hispaniola edible rat, Samana hutia, lemke's hutia, montane hutia, Puerto Rican hutia, imposter hutia, twisted tooth mouse, atalaye nesophontes, western Cuban nesophontes, St. Michel nesophontes, Haitian nesophontes, and Caribbean monk seal.
The habitat of the little earth hutia or San felipe hutia is in the low dense vegetation areas of southwester Cuba. Specifically on the island of Cayo Juan Garcia.
