Corcovado - Better than a Zoo!

Do you know how birds, monkeys and other animals play or communicate with each other? In Corcovado we saw lots of animals. We saw monkeys, birds (there were lots of different kinds of birds), tapirs, coati, agouti, sloths, a snake, black pigs, iguana, an ant eater, and many bugs.

I liked monkeys and tapirs the best. I enjoyed observing the monkeys playing and the tapir walking around and drinking water. I like monkeys because the squirrel monkeys were so cute and the spider monkeys were fun to watch. The spider monkeys play with each other by climbing around on the trees and the ground, chasing each other. It’s very rare to see them play on the ground, it means they are very comfortable and sure that there are no predators around such as cougars and other big cats. I like the tapirs because they are so cute and they looks different with other animals. It has long nose but it’s different with an elephant. 

It would be a great memory and it was even better than a zoo.
