Costa Rica is nature’s gigantic stage. Its performers, though most are extinct in other places, are never shy. Costa Rica wildlife can be seen in nature parks and other protected areas around the country. Trekking through the rainforest will introduce you to howler monkeys, numerous varieties of butterflies, and awesome view of the bird species. Of course, you will have the chance to meet some of the 35,000 species of insects including the butterflies. Costa Rica wildlife also include the 150 species of amphibians which are all very exotic. Even if you’re an expert wildlife enthusiast, you might want to be careful while searching for Costa Rica animals. There are more than 200 species of reptiles, half of which are snakes. Even if they are mostly nocturnal, most are camouflaged, making it almost impossible to notice them. More commonly seen are Costa Rica’s lizards. The “basilisk” type is commonly known as “Jesus Christ Lizard” because it can run across the water.  Jaguar
The wildlife in Costa Rica is not shy, and they have every reason not to be. Some of them, like plants, are poisonous. You might have seen snakes, scorpions, and spiders someplace else before. So if you’ve been told that Costa Rica has its share of those, you might say “big deal”. Fortunately, not all the snakes are poisonous, and even if tarantulas and scorpions are considered dangerous, they really don’t just appear under your pillow. Some people though have found these Costa Rica animals under rocks. Others really did find that tarantulas and scorpions have a way into their homes. This of course depends on the type of material your home is built with and its location. If your house happens to be in the middle of thick trees and lush vegetation, who can blame the spiders and scorpions, right? The best times for viewing Costa Rica wildlife would be in the early morning or late in the afternoon, particularly around the waterholes. With the aid of a professional tour guide, some patience, and a stroke of luck, your trip may possibly lead to exciting encounters with the rarely-seen wildlife.
