Insular region of Colombia
The insular region of Colombia includes the oceanic islands outside the continental territory. In the Caribbean this includes the San Andrés and Providencia islands near Central America and the many coastal islands along mainland Colombia. In the Pacific, it includes Gorgona Island and Malpelo Island. The ecosystems and wildlife found on these islands are the same as those found on their adjacent mainland areas. For example, the terrestrial habitat on Gorgona Island is tropical rainforest, similar to what is found in the Pacific lowlands of mainland Colombia.

gollark: I mean, it says the ToD is *earlier* than the changed between time, which I think is positive safety-wise but may cause other problems.
gollark: Probably not a great idea, so I'll tweak that back...
gollark: I think I made it fudge that slightly to make it a bit safer.
gollark: I should probably have asked this sooner after the update, but any feedback for my egg timing extension? Specifically the feature where it tries to figure out the time of death, that bit is... kind of slightly not tested very well.
gollark: Do any other dragons have constrained hatch times? Can we test them?
