Corcovado National Park Costa Rica

The ecological variety is quite
stunning. National Geographic has
called it "the most biologically
intense place on Earth". Not only is
the park very popular with tropical
ecologists, a visitor can expect to
see an abundance of wildlife.
Corcovado is home to a sizable
population of the endangered Baird's
Tapir and even a small population of
the very rare Harpy Eagle. The
park's rivers and lagoons are home
to large populations of both the
American crocodile and Spectacled
Caiman, along with Bull sharks.
Corcovado is also one of the final
strongholds of the Jaguar within
Central America and several other
felines are also present, including
Ocelot, Margay, Jaguarundi, and
Puma. All four Costa Rican monkey
species can be seen within the park,
including the endangered Central
American Squirrel Monkey,
White-faced Capuchin, Mantled
Howler, and Geoffroy's Spider
Monkey. Other mammals present
include Two-toed and Three-toed
Sloth, Collared Peccary, Northern
Tamandua and Silky Anteater. Poison
dart frogs and several species of
snake (including the venomous Fer-de-Lance
and Bushmaster) are also common
within the park.
