    About the Book

    Edit

    This book is filled with portraits of some
    of the interesting and beautiful creatures
    that live in Costa Rica.

    It explores the Dry Forests at sea level;
    the tropical Rain Forests at medium altitudes;
    then it takes us upthrough the Cloud Forest
    (which covers the higher altitudes) until the forests
    thin and end at the tree-limit at almost12,000 feet
    in the mountains.

    Some of these Forest Jewels, such
    as the Poison Dart Frogs and the
    Hummingbirds, are very small while
    others are larger and more easily seen.

    Costa Rica is renowned for its fabulous
    birds (including the spectacular Macaws
    and Toucans); and for its vast chorus
    of brightly coloured song birds which
    culminates in the legendary Resplendent
    Quetzal with his glorious tail-feathers.

    We meet some of the Owls and the
    Motmots, with their unique tailfeathers;
    and the vulnerable Guans and Curassows.

    We witness the endearing and highly
    intelligent Coatis collecting fruit for
    their dinner; we watch the busy Leaf
    -cutter Ants strip a plant of its flowers
    and leaves in just a few minutes; and we
    look at some of the reptiles who slither
    through the forests.

    Then there are the iridescently feathered
    Hummingbirds who dart from flower to
    flower to feed on nectar.

    We discover the famous Red-eyed Tree
    Frog; in addition to some of the other
    nocturnal creatures in the forest.

    The photographs in this book show just
    a little of the Costa Rican Paradise
