  • 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

  • Montezuma Oropendola and nest, Psarocolius montezuma, Costa Rica. Is a New World tropical icterid bird. The "unforgettable" (Howell and Webb 1995) song of the male Montezuma Oropendola is given during the bowing display, and consists of a conversational bubbling followed by loud gurgles. The Montezuma Oropendola inhabits forest canopy, edges and old plantations. It is a colonial breeder which builds a hanging woven nest of fibres and vines. Image by Andres Morya

  • Strawberry poison frog or strawberry poison-dart frog (Oophaga pumilio), Costa Rica. Is a species of small amphibian poison dart frog found in Central America. It is common throughout its range, which extends from eastern central Nicaragua through Costa Rica and northwestern Panama. The species is often found in humid lowlands and premontane forest, but large populations are also found in disturbed areas such as plantations.[1] The strawberry poison frog is perhaps most famous for its widespread variation in coloration, comprising approximately 15-30 color morphs, most of which are presumed to be true-breeding. D. pumilio, while not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids, is the most toxic member of its genus. Image by Andres Morya

  • Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), Costa Rica. The Quetzal prefers damp mountain forests, and is most active in the canopy and edges; it may survive in heavily deforested areas, but only if there remain woods with adequate feeding and nesting trees. The Quetzal mostly eats fruits of the avocado family, as well as figs. Its diet also includes insects, small frogs, snails, and lizards. It drinks water from the bases of bromeliads.

  • Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana), Costa Rica. Every year in early spring, female green iguanas climb down from the tall trees of Costa Rica's rain forests and lay their eggs in sandy beaches along the ocean. And every year, people are waiting to catch and eat them. Eating iguanas is an ancient tradition for the people of Costa Rica. They call iguanas "chicken of the trees." Image by Andres Morya

  • Owl Butterfly (Caligo memnon), Costa Rica. This butterfly frequently rests near banana crops or other agricultural areas. It is common in lowland forests, but cannot survive in areas with lots of rainfall.  Butterflies in this family are drawn to feed on the juices of fermenting fruits. Banana, pineapple, and mango are very attractive to this butterfly as an adult. When it is a caterpillar, banana and heliconia are the main host plants. Image by Andres Morya

  • The Violet Sabrewing (Campylopterus hemileucurus), is a very large hummingbird native to southern Mexico and Central America as far south as Costa Rica and western Panama.<br />
It is a species of the understory and edges of mountain forests, especially near streams. The food of this species is nectar, taken mainly from undergrowth flowers with Heliconias and bananas as favourites. The males are less aggressive and territorial at flowers than their size would suggest.<br />
The call of the Violet Sabrewing is a sharp twitter, and the song of the male, given at leks of up to ten males, is a high-pitched piercing cheep tsew cheep tik-tik tsew. Image by Andres Morya

  • The Violet Sabrewing (Campylopterus hemileucurus), is a very large hummingbird native to southern Mexico and Central America as far south as Costa Rica and western Panama.<br />
It is a species of the understory and edges of mountain forests, especially near streams. The food of this species is nectar, taken mainly from undergrowth flowers with Heliconias and bananas as favourites. The males are less aggressive and territorial at flowers than their size would suggest.<br />
The call of the Violet Sabrewing is a sharp twitter, and the song of the male, given at leks of up to ten males, is a high-pitched piercing cheep tsew cheep tik-tik tsew. Image by Andres Morya

  • The white-headed capuchin (Cebus capucinus), also known as the white-faced capuchin or white-throated capuchin. Native to the forests of Central America and the extreme north-western portion of South America, the white-headed capuchin is important to rainforest ecology for its role in dispersing seeds and pollen.

  • 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.

  • Green and Black Poison Dart Frog, Dendrobates auratus, also known as the green and black poison dart frog or the green and black poison arrow frog, and sometimes mint poison frog (not to be confused with the mint-green color morph of P. terribilis), is a brightly-colored member of the order Anura native to Central America and north-western parts of South America. It is one of the most variable of all poison dart frogs next to Dendrobates tinctorius. It is considered to be of least concern from a conservation standpoint by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).<br />
The green-and-black poison frog, while not the most toxic poison dart frog, is still a highly toxic animal. The very small amount of poison the frog possesses is still enough to make a human ill. Like most poison dart frogs, however, the green-and-black poison dart frog will only release its poison if it feels that it is threatened, and wild specimens can be handled if the human holding it is calm and relaxed. The green-and-black poison frog, as with all poison dart frogs, loses its toxicity in captivity due to a change in diet. This has led scientists to believe that the green-and-black poison frog actually takes its poison from the ants it feeds on. Image by Andres Morya
