Wildlife of the World: Costa Rica

About this book

With its misty cloud forest and marshy wetlands, sandy beaches and tropical rainforest, Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world... which means there's an incredible range of fascinating animal life to be found there! Sleepy sloths and noisy howler monkeys chew leaves in the treetops, while colourful birds and poisonous frogs hunt strange insects through the undergrowth... and there's much, much more! In this book in the Wildlife of the World series, aimed at children from 8 to 13 years old, expert wildlife photographer Hugh Lansdown reveals some of the most interesting and unusual wildlife to be found in this beautiful, tropical country.
