Kanuku Mountains
FRENCH GUIANA
The Kanuku Mountains are a group of mountains in Guyana, located in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo region. The name means 'rich forest' in the Macushi language, a reference to the rich diversity of wildlife found there. Some 150 mammal species, or 80% of all mammals found in Guyana, live in the Kanuku Mountains. Prominent species include the giant otter, the Harpy eagle and the Arapaima. The Kunuku Mountains rise up almost 3,000 ft.
