  • Black howler (Alouatta caraya), Misiones, Argentina. Is a species of howler monkey, a large New World monkey, from northeast Argentina, east Bolivia, east and south Brazil and Paraguay. Named for their vocalizations, they may be heard most often around sunrise. This "dawn chorus" sounds much more like roaring than howling, and it announces the howlers' position as a means to avoiding conflict with other groups. The call can be heard up to 5 km away.

  • Jaguar (Panthera onca), Central America Jaguar (Panthera onca) Linnaeus, Costa Rica. Jaguars are the third largest cat of the world, ranking behind the tiger and African lion. In spite of their large size and powerful build, however, jaguars (el tigre of the Mexicans) are shy and retiring. They seldom, if ever, attack man unless cornered or at bay. They are thought to roam over a large territory, much as does the mountain lion, and nowhere are they abundant.<br />
The jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large; given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including that of the Maya and Aztec.

  • Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus) Perezoso de Tres Dedos, Cahuita, Caribe, Costa Rica<br />
This sloth species is found from southern Honduras through Panama and western Colombia through the Amazon to northern Argentina. The three-toed sloth is active during the day, unlike the nocturnal two-toed sloth, and so is seen more often. This sloth only eats leaves from trees and lianas, but may feed on fifty individual trees of up to thirty species, eating leaves of different ages. Sloths live, feed, mate, and reproduce near the upper levels of the forest canopy. They move to a new tree often enough to balance their diet, or about once every 1.5 days. Image by Andres Morya

  • Verreaux's sifaka hopping, Propithecus verreauxi, Berenty Reserve, Madagascar Verreaux's Sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi), adult jumping, Berenty Private Reserve, Madagascar. Image by Andres Morya <br />
<br />
The sifakas are relatively large lemurs that are diurnal, or active during the day. These lemurs are called sifakas because of the sound of their distinct “si-fak!” call. They have extremely long legs and their favorite position to “hang out” in is vertical, clinging to tree trunks. Those same long legs help them leap powerfully from tree to tree, sometimes resembling a basketball player at the apex of a rim-rattling slam-dunk. But on the ground sifakas are equally captivating, bounding along in a comical sideways dance with arms flailing overhead for balance.

  • Margay Cat or tigrillo (Leopardus wiedii), is a small spotted cat native to Central and South America. This species is declining through much of its range due to human induced conversion of native forest habitats to agriculture and pasture. Image by Andres Morya

  • Giant Anteater, Myrmecophaga tridactyla, Corrientes, Argentina. Is the largest species of anteater. It is a solitary animal, found in many habitats, including grasslands, deciduous forests and rainforests. It feeds mainly on ants and termites, sometimes up to 30,000 insects in a single day.

  • Costa Rican Cougar, (Puma concolor costaricensis), is an endangered subspecies of feline. This Cougar subspecies usually hunts at night and may sometimes travel long distances in search of food. Its average litter size is 3 cubs. The animal has a solid tan-colored coat without spots. This particular subspecies ranks as the second largest cat in Costa Rica and can be found in various places and habitats. Like other cougars, it is amazingly fast, and can maneuver quite easily and skillfully. Image by Andres Morya

  • Central American Agouti (Dasyprocta punctata), Costa Rica. Is an agouti species from the Dasyproctidae family. Agoutis are terrestrial and cursorial which means ground dwelling and built for running with speed. They walk, trot or gallop on their toes, and can jump up more than six feet from a standing position. They prefer tropical, terrestrial habitats. They also build small caves around sources of water. When their territory is challenged, males often get into fights Image by Andres Morya

  • White-nosed coati (Nasua narica), Costa Rica. Is a species of coati and a member of the family Procyonidae (raccoons). They are omnivores, preferring small vertebrates, fruits, carrion, insects, and eggs. They can climb trees easily, where the tail is used for balance, but they are most often on the ground foraging. Their predators include boas, raptors, hunting cats, and Tayras (Eira barbara). Image by Andres Morya

  • Jaguar (Panthera onca), Central America Jaguar (Panthera onca) Linnaeus, Costa Rica. Jaguars are the third largest cat of the world, ranking behind the tiger and African lion. In spite of their large size and powerful build, however, jaguars (el tigre of the Mexicans) are shy and retiring. They seldom, if ever, attack man unless cornered or at bay. They are thought to roam over a large territory, much as does the mountain lion, and nowhere are they abundant.<br />
The jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large; given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including that of the Maya and Aztec.

  • tiger (Panthera tigris), India. Tiger habitats will usually include sufficient cover, proximity to water, and an abundance of prey. Bengal tigers live in many types of forests, including wet; evergreen; the semi-evergreen of Assam and eastern Bengal; the mangrove forest of the Ganges Delta; the deciduous forest of Nepal, and the thorn forests of the Western Ghats. Compared to the lion, the tiger prefers denser vegetation, for which its camouflage colouring is ideally suited, and where a single predator is not at a disadvantage compared with the multiple felines in a pride.<br />
Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers; tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes, and rivers. During the extreme heat of the day, they often cool off in pools. Tigers are excellent swimmers, and are able to carry prey through the water. Image by Andres Morya

  • Verreaux's sifaka hopping, Propithecus verreauxi, Berenty Reserve, Madagascar Verreaux's Sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi), adult jumping, Berenty Private Reserve, Madagascar. Image by Andres Morya<br />
<br />
The sifakas are relatively large lemurs that are diurnal, or active during the day. These lemurs are called sifakas because of the sound of their distinct “si-fak!” call. They have extremely long legs and their favorite position to “hang out” in is vertical, clinging to tree trunks. Those same long legs help them leap powerfully from tree to tree, sometimes resembling a basketball player at the apex of a rim-rattling slam-dunk. But on the ground sifakas are equally captivating, bounding along in a comical sideways dance with arms flailing overhead for balance.
