The Cajas National Park is home to a large variety of animals, some of which are endemic or highly endangered. Among the most prominent are the South American Condor, of which only 80 remain throughout all Ecuador; the Curiquinga, a large black and white raptor, and the largest hummingbird of the world, the Giant Hummingbird (Patagona gigas), which lives only on agave flowers.
