The fact that monkeys live there shows that the environment is healthy, and that Costa Rica's lush, animal-filled landscapes are beautiful. But these cute primates' environments are getting more and more broken up because of things people do, like building cities and cutting down trees. Creating and maintaining biological corridors are now important ways to protect Costa Rica's monkey population for the future. We need to understand how important these corridors are for the survival ...

An unexpected hero silently goes about its business in the lush canopies of the rainforests of Central and South America: the sloth. Frequently linked to relaxed ways of living, these arboreal mammals perform an essential and frequently disregarded function in maintaining the delicate equilibrium of their environments by acting as major controllers of insect populations. Let's examine how sloths regulate the number of insects in their surroundings to help preserve ecological balance.

White-faced capuchin monkeys are found in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where they live among thick vegetation and hanging vines. Still, their biological traits, as well as behavioral aspects, have inspired researchers for a long time due to their intellectual vocalizations and sophisticated communicative manners. Discoveries from recent investigations illuminate some intriguing patterns in how these monkeys communicate within themselves and with other species of their k...

Over the past few years, ecotourism has seen a rise as a favorite and enduring substitute for established forms of tourism where tourists can witness the natural wonders while helping to conserve nature, as well as for the benefit of local communities. One of the charismatic fauna that attracts ecotourism all over the world is sloths; the icons of tropical rainforests that move slowly.

In the green jungles of South America, a chorus of loud howls travel deep into the distance, marking their territory and communicating with other troop members. Known for their spectacular howls and robust appearance, these monkeys are undoubtedly charismatic animals that capture our fascination, yet they also form an integral part of ecosystems within their natural ranges. Their role in these habitats is closely tied to their dietary preferences and dependent on their home environment.

Tree habitats are seen as a critical resource for sloths because they facilitate the ease of feeding and breeding. This is because trees provide an ecosystem where they can live without having to come down all the time. Not many animals can be considered to symbolize the rich network of rainforests and tropical environments as much as sloths. Distinguished by their careful, measured, and deliberate motions in all of nature’s realm, these astoundingly fit creatures live on the canopy of trees. ...

Sloths are the most graceful tree-dwellers. Sloths' slow glides across the canopy are famous, but nature enthusiasts are fascinated by their descent. Discover the mystery of sloths' rare forest floor visits with us.

The spider monkey lives in Costa Rica and is a part of the country's many unique animals and lively nature. People are working hard to help these monkeys stay safe from losing their homes and being hurt by people’s actions. Environmental education, reforestation and unify efforts could be the solution.

There is concern about the decline of the two-toed sloth population (Choloepus hoffmanni) in recent years. Because of the challenges these cute animals face in their native environments, the Jaguar Rescue Center has taken action to understand how they reproduce. Our goal is to learn more about sloths' reproductive biology so we may start breeding them successfully in captivity. This study was done with permits from the Ministry of Energy and Environment (MINAE) and the National Commission fo...

We can find the Spider Monkey in the treetops of Central and South America rainforests. It is distinguished by unmatched dexterity and social complexity. We will solve the riddles that make spider monkeys among the most fascinating species in the canopy as we investigate the enigmatic world of these arboreal acrobats.
