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.

The most famous tree animal in South and Central America is the sloth. You can see many products everywhere with their funny faces. But something that makes sloths interesting to study subjects is how they work and interact with their natural environment. It's fascinating to see how many species are connected in a complex web of connections that is very important for sloths and the ecosystem to live healthily and naturally.

The white-faced monkey, also known as the capuchin, is an essential species in Costa Rica's rainforest. But cutting down trees is becoming a bigger problem for the future of this species. Because of these things

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest health problems facing society today. We call antibiotic-resistant bacteria when they develop the ability to resist one or more types of antibiotics. This dramatically complicates medical treatment for infection in both humans and animals

In Central and South America's deep rainforests, spider monkeys’ dwell in the tree crowns where various plants and animals can be found. Their influence on shaping these ecosystems' development is considerable but sometimes needs to receive more recognition. These mammals represent highly successful species of seed dispersers, essential for maintaining biodiversity and recovering new generations in many parts of the ecosystem. Spider monkeys play a vital role in seed dispersion; thus, t...

A master of disguise lives in the dark canopy of the rainforests of Central and South America: the sloth. Sloths, with their many camouflage techniques, are very skilled at blending into their surroundings, despite their slow movement and obviously noticeable look. Let's explore the amazing realm of sloth camouflage and learn the techniques behind this amazing adaptation that allows them to survive in their natural habitat and avoid predators.
