Costa Rica Part 3--Mammals

Mammals!
I started off with the four species of monkey we saw (and all that exist in Costa Rica), more as proof that we saw them than really good photography. Oddly enough, their order of appearance correlates with how cooperative they were in pictures: white faced capuchin, howler, spider, and squirrel monkies.














Next up are a few of the other interesting mammals we saw: first a bizarre porcupine that we think may be an albino Mexican hairy porcupine, but no one is really sure about that. This is followed by our photogenic kinkajou who waited patiently for us to take pictures and get off the bridge before going across itself. They are followed up by a tamandua (anteater) and a bat I scared out of its day roost.
