Wild Animal Life

Poison Dart Frog

Costa Rica contains 5% of the world’s animal species. It’s amazing how many of these we saw in less than a week. We saw a (dead) fer-de-lance, bats, wild rabbits, and many types of livestock and dogs. The bird life was the most numerous, as we saw many small singing birds, huge flocks of vultures and kites, and several toucans and parrots. But my personal favorite was the quetzal, probably the most secretive bird in the country. Costa Rica is full of wildlife we would have never seen at home.

  1. Hi Brian and everyone,
    I'm so happy to hear you saw lots of natural wildlife. Mr. Williams must have been absolutely thrilled with all the birds you saw! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
