If you decide on
Costa Rica for a
family vacation or a
student travel trip it is because you are probably looking for some adventure and
wildlife. One of the most sought after animals of the
rainforest is the
Jaguar. If you happen to see one of these on your vacation to Costa Rica you will join a very small group of eco-
tourist who were lucky enough to see the beautiful animal who might not have much more time left on this planet. Take a look at some interesting facts about the Jaguar.
1.) Is a very good swimmer.
2.) The Jaguar is Endangered due to loss of natural
habitat.
3.) 3rd largest cat on the plante behind the
lion and
tiger.
4.) Eats small
mammals. (We are small mammals!!!!!!)
5.) They hunt at night. (This is one reason why tourist rarely see them)
Image via Wikipedia Down on the Osa Peninsula, where it is hot and humid, a new AM radio station has come on the air. It sits high above the rinforest and broadcats a casual message. People call in and the broadcaster describes the wildlife as it passes by. People in the villages around the station love having their own media. They call in and interact. The real message of the rainforest radio is to take care of the environment. That is the main message, and it is one that the people of this area believe in, but it is also a message for visitors to take home with them.
