  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Spectacled Caiman (Caiman crocodilus), Costa Rica. This small crocodilian lives in humid tropic lowlands within rivers, streams, canals, marshes, and swamps. It can also live in water near the ocean. The caiman is more common in areas with high rainfall. In Costa Rica it is found only in the lowlands up to 200 m Image by Andres Morya

  • 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

  • Chestnut-mandibled Toucan (Ramphastos swainsonii) in Costa Rica. The Chestnut-mandibled Toucan, or Swainson's Toucan (Ramphastos swainsonii) is a near-passerine bird which breeds from eastern Honduras to northern Colombia to western Ecuador. The Chestnut-mandibled Toucan is a resident breeder in moist lowland forest. 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

  • Spurell's Flying Frog (Agalychnis spurelli), Costa Rica.

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
