At Ecocentro Danaus a wildlife reserve outside of La Fortuna Costa Rica. This reserve was created 9 years ago by allowing farm land to revert back to forest and it already is filled with wildlife. The reserve also includes a butterfly farm (Danaus means Monarch Butterfly). These are two Long-eared Bats - they bite the rib of large leaves causing the leaves to fold over and create a little rain shelter for the bats. At this reserve we also saw a mother Three-toed sloth with a baby clinging to her back, agouti (think large guinea pig), and Broad-billed Herons.

Great photos of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. We did a GAP adventure tour in 2008. Your nature photos are VERY good.
