Highly endangered specie, Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii), also called Mono Titi, in the secondary rain forest, Punta Burica, Golfo de Chiriqui, Panama, close to the Border to Costa Rica, Central America

I only stayed one week in Panama, and spent most of that time in the remote “Mono Feliz”, a safe heaven for endangered monkeys near the border to Costa Rica. I also had the opportunity to have a glimpse at Panama City and the Panama Canal.

: These crabs do not only live on the beach but in the forest and even on top of the hill. They are simply everywhere. But what was most stunning was to discover they also climb trees to reach new leaves to munch on. So yes, in and near the Mono Feliz, you will see crabs in the trees!
