Fauna
Costa Rica is a land of awe-inspiring natural
divesity – and beauty
Costa Rica is a land of awe-inspiring natural
diversity and beauty. It is the size of the relatively small state
West Virginia, yet it hosts more than half of all living organisms
on earth.

|
It has more
than 850 bird species, including toucans, macaws, quetzals,
and many other breath-taking birds. |
Costa Rica has four species of monkeys, 220 species
of reptiles, 5000 species of grasshoppers, and 10% of all known
butterflies in the world.
| The frogs are magical, the
snakes are mystical, and the sloths are slow and magnificent.
There are anteaters, tapirs and exotic ducks with scarlet
bills.
The wonder of Costa Rica is that, more than likely,
you will see these fantastic creatures, because, for some reason,
they reveal themselves here. Maybe it is because they are as happy
and as proud to be Costa Rican as the humans who inhabit this beautiful
land. |
