3 Toed Sloth
Though we saw several of these animals, it was difficult to get a good
shot - they're so high in the trees.
We also saw a 2 toed sloth - no photo though.
Agouti
The agouti is a large rodent which looks like a guinea pig.
Coati
Crab-eating Racoon
Very similar to our raccoon, but slimmer.
Tent Bats
Our guide spotted these 6 bats way up in a palm tree at the Manuel
Antonio National Park.
I inserted a better photo from the internet so you can see it better.
Howler Monkey
We saw quite a few of these, but it was difficult to get photos because
they're so high in the trees.
White-faced Monkey
Squirrel Monkey
They are an endangered species, but we were fortunate enough to see a
few near the Manuel Antonio National Park.
This sign was on the road to the Manuel Antonio National Park.
Children, dogs, sloths and monkeys should be watched for.
