Parrots (Loros), Hummingbirds (Colibris), and Howler monkeys (Monos Congos)!

Animals of Costa Rica's Carribean lowalnds.  Some fly, some climb, some talk, and they all amaze!  The biodiversity of this small country is truly a marvel.  We have all added many new species to our list of plants and animals that we have seen.  Costa Ricans are doing much to continue to sustain the rich ecosystems which make up their natural land.  Over 30% of the nation is protected permanently in parks and reserves.  Sustainability is a concept that applies to all species here, not only humans.
