I moved to Costa Rica two years ago and enjoy the daily encounters with the local wildlife. I was surprised to find this Northern Tamandua sleeping high up in a tree. These small ant- and termite-eating mammals are mostly nocturnal and rarely seen during the day. I was delighted to see it safe and sound in the canopy. Sadly, these animals are often victims of road traffic. New infrastructure, fragmentation and reduction of natural habitat are threats to many species in Central America.
