Jaguar Rescate / Zoave La Garita, Costa Rica Most Rescate animals arrive having been confiscated by the government from illegal captivity situations. As a result, many cannot be released into the wild. Here they give them the best life possible. #jaguar #photography #wildlifephotography #rescate

Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) Rescate / Zoave, Costa Rica Spider monkeys lack a thumb, which allows them to swing freely through the canopy of the rainforest. They're considered critically endangered due to habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. #wildife #photography #endangered

Margay (Leopardus wiedii) Rescate / Zoave La Garita, Costa Rica Arboreal, nocturnal wild cats that sleep, raise their young in South/Central American forests. They often sleep in tree hollows, securely on branches, sometimes secured by a single foot. #cat #wildcat #margay #costarica🇨🇷 #photography

Current Status The Emerald Forest San Isidro, Heredia Costa Rica Four of us are leaving in the morning, after several months interning together. It's been a wonderful experience for me — 3 months helping prepare animals for release back into the wild, 3 months caring for baby sloths. What a dream!

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GreyDay : a Grey Tinamou, a large, chicken-like ground bird in humid tropical lowlands. Hunted for food and wiped out in many areas. Renowned for their shiny colorful eggs, in turquoise, green, blue, or purple. #🪶 #tinamou #colorfuleggs #costarica #photography

Cutest Little House La Fortuna, Costa Rica Mostly windows and planting, this little house is adorable. There's a private space in the back that's likely a bedroom (didn't want to be TOO nosy). Set back from the main road, easy to overlook, charming! #house #tiny #lush #windows #lafortuna #costarica

One more of the Emerald Basilisk, well two males actually. I was distracted by the lower lizard (and the papaya) so I didn't see the other male up top, until he dispatched the lower lizard by running him off. #herps #lizards #basilisks #standoff #photography #papayainterference #costarica #lafortuna

Male Anhinga Sunning Rio Peñas Blancas La Fortuna, Costa Rica Blue eye ring signifies breeding season. They sun like this as they lack the "waterproofing" other waterbirds have so they get waterlogged diving for food. #birds #lafortuna #costarica #anhinga #sunning #pianobird #snakebird #darter
