The temperature of its surroundings is one significant factor influencing the sloth's behavior and level of activity. This article looks at sloths' unusual mode of life and the temperature connection.

As you may know, four main monkey species live in Costa Rica: the howler monkey (Alouatta palliata), the white-faced capuchin (Cebus capucinus), the squirrel monkey (Saimiri oerstedii), and the Geoffroy's spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi). Habitat sharing by these animals frequently results in a variety of competitive interactions.

Living in trees, arboreal mammals have a fantastic range of physical modifications that enable them to traverse their vertical surroundings. Among these tree-dwelling creatures, sloths stand out for their peculiar and highly specialized anatomy. Comparing the anatomy of monkeys and sloths, this article highlights the special traits that let these animals thrive in the trees.

Hundreds of howler monkeys and other animal species have been found dead on forest floors in several Central American nations. Why is that? Because of the high temperatures. This article will explore the potential causes and our part in it.

The power lines that run through Costa Rica are hazardous to the animals that live there, especially the monkeys. The number of wildlife electrocuted is going up because of more development and more overlap between human places and natural animal habitats. This has a big effect on efforts to protect heritage. Only this year, 24 animals of different species (mostly sloths and monkeys) arrived electrocuted at the center from January 2024 to the end of April.
