Sloths are known for their lethargic movements, yet their fur is an interesting survival mechanism. Sloths' fur helps them conceal, shelter, and stay dry in the humid rainforest, unlike most animals.

Gregarious, clever animals, monkeys need on complex actions to survive in their natural environments. Stress, however, influences monkeys in both wild and captivity as well as their survival, behavior, and health. From habitat destruction to life in captivity, knowledge of how stress affects these animals is crucial for conservation initiatives and improvement of their well-being.

Sloths are misunderstood as lethargic or unskilled due to their slow movements. Their slow pace is a survival tactic that helps them survive in Central and South American rainforests. Their amazing digestive system is the key to their unique lifestyle. Sloths feed on thick, fibrous leaves, which are abundant yet difficult to digest and eat.

Costa Rican environments where seasonal fluctuations can greatly affect the availability of specific food sources. Costa Rica, a biodiversity leader, confronts ecosystem-threatening wildfires. Formerly infrequent fires in the country's humid tropical forests are becoming common and devastating. Complex factors like climate change, deforestation, and human activity promote this worrisome trend. Fires threaten sloths and monkeys' survival now and in the future.

View Counts (505)
If we think that sloths, arboreal native to tropical rainforests and well-known for their lazy locomotion, have little to do with the oceans or marine life, does it make sense? On the other hand, these tree-dwelling species play a remarkable role in maintaining ecosystems that extend far beyond the forests in which they live. The connecting factor is the interaction between tropical forests and the aquatic habitats near them, such as rivers, mangroves, and coastal seas.

Renowned for their remarkable ability to adapt their food in response to seasonal environmental changes, Alouatta palliata, sometimes known as Howler monkeys. Unlike certain primates who rely largely on fruit or particular plant species, howler monkeys display nutritional flexibility that permits them to live even in times of food shortage. This adaptability is extremely necessary in the numerous Costa Rican environments where seasonal fluctuations can greatly affect the availability of specific...
