We never saw more animals in one week than in Costa Rica. We saw animals ranging from sloths to monkeys to birds of every kind, to amphibians, reptiles, and more. And we only scratched the amazing surface of this incredibly biodiverse place. I took so many photos of so many animals it will take a while to go through and identify them all.
