It is formed by the continuous impact of seawater on the hills, driving rocks out of an alley. The Animal Flower Cave was discovered in 1780 by two British explorers. Although it was formed at sea level, it is 6 feet higher than the highest water level at sea level, because Barbados rises one inch every thousand years.

There are anemones in the Animal Flower Cave, which are called "Animal Flowers" by local people, and the cave is named "Animal Flower Cave" for this reason. Although animal flowers look a lot like flowers, they are actually predatory animals. During the day, the colorful parts stretch out to allow the symbiotic algae to fully synthesize, and at night, the tentacles stretch out again to hunt. Animals 'tentacles can sting and paralyze passing fish to hunt for food. There is a coral floor in the Animal Flower Cave, which is about 400,000 - 500,000 years old. There is also a large pool called a "swimming pool" by the tour guide. It is actually very shallow. If you are interested, you can try swimming in it!

It looks heroic. In 1997, U.S. President Bill Clinton visited Washington's former residence during his visit to Barbados. One of the biggest gains that the Barbados government gained from this visit was that Clinton brought in as much as US$2.5 million for the comprehensive renovation of Washington's former residence, which made the renovation plan of Washington's former residence the most expensive housing renovation plan in the history of this small Caribbean island country.
