Costa Rica has a diversified biodiversity, including howler, capuchin, and spider monkeys. Unfortunately, humans are progressively harming these species. The rising number of orphaned monkeys in the country due to power line electrocutions, vehicle accidents, and deforestation is heartbreaking.

More than merely a symbol of Costa Rica's great diversity, the howler monkey, also known as the "mono aullador," is integral to the nation's character. Among the simplest creatures in Costa Rica are these loud and fascinating ones. They are a component of daily life, mythology, and even environmental consciousness among people.

Few creatures have captured hearts as totally in the wide and quirky world of the internet as the sloth. Especially in viral videos when they raise their arms and make many viewers assume they are either expressing thanks or pleading for a hug, these slow-moving, apparently always smiling creatures have become social media stars. Though they appear beautiful, these actions are not what they seem.

Among the most nimble and fascinating primates in tropical jungles of Central and South America are spider monkeys with long limbs and prehensile tails. Renowned for their sophisticated social systems and acrobatic skills, these clever animals have a reproductive cycle as interesting as their wild behavior. Knowing the reproductive cycle of the spider monkey (Ateles species) helps one better understand their life background and the difficulties they experience in their natural surroundings.

Usually, when considering animal care and preservation, there are two main types of facilities: zoos and sanctuaries. Though they serve different purposes and operate under various theories, both house animals. Understanding these differences can help one to appreciate the unique contributions each provides to animal care and conservation.

Among the most amazing primates in the Americas are Howler monkeys, whose unique vocalizations can cover many kilometers. Native to Central and South America, these arboreal creatures show amazing variety across several species. Researchers have paid great attention to this variation; genetic studies lead first in scientific inquiry. By means of genes, researchers are revealing the complex interactions and evolutionary backgrounds defining the several species of howler monkeys.

In the green lands of the Americas, loud howls go through the trees, showing the fascinating howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata). They are known for the noise that travels in the forests. Let's look at their body to see why they can make loud sounds.

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.

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...
