 Glad I had it! Mar 29, 2007
By C. P. Lincoln
I wasn't holding out much hope for value on this little "brochure" of wildlife but it turned out to be very nice to have. We just returned from a trip to Panama and Costa Rica and the guides - experienced naturalists with National Geographic and also from the parks and the Smithsonian - used it along with others. They are available for different regions and types of wildlife and I purchased two more when I was down there. Easy to carry on a hike, easy to refer to and great for the kids. They are certainly very basic but we were in isolated areas and some of us only got glimpses of an anteater or agouti so as the naturalists were talking about it, we could look at the guide and try to spot it again. Then if I only saw the tail, I knew what it looked like! Hiking up 300-500 ft. on muddy uneven trails with a camera in one hand, binoculars around my neck and a small backpack with water and such, it was hard to pull out a book for reference so if your trip is going to be at all like that, I recommend them.

 GOOD ENOUGH FOR A FIRST TIME VISIT TO COSTA RICA Aug 29, 2005
By J. Schnuer
Although this pocket field guide is extremely limited - only listed three species of butterflies - it did enable us to identify the difference between Howler, Spider and Capuchin monkeys. It sufficed as a guide for my week long (and first visit) to Costa Rica. However, if you are spending more time in the rainforest, I would recommend a more detailed guide for your area(s) of interest. Enjoy.

 Too skimpy to be useful Aug 26, 2005
By J. Fallon
This is effectively a foldout brochure (laminated) with only a few animals/birds, and very little information. You can get almost as much information from your general guide book for Costa Rica. I could only recommend this as something to give children to look at to keep them busy during the trip.

perfect pocket knowledge! May 31, 2004
By noname

You gotta have this little book of wildlife treasures on hand, because you will see most of these creatures if your visit is at least a week!Another book I read before my visit was "Costa Rica: The Last Country The Gods Made," one of the most imaginative travel-writing efforts I have read lately. Like an anthropolgical text with far too many tangents, it gathers the best and brightest attractions in Costa Rica to explore in essays the various themes of the country. This means that the selections are as diverse and strange as the points-of-view they represent. Standouts include "House Made of Rain" about a day in the rainforest, "Why No Empire?" explaining why the Spanish Invasion apparently skipped Costa Rica, and "Women Under Tico Paternalism."

 Nice laminated quick guide to common animals/birds Sep 29, 2005
By Jennifer E. Jensen
"Global Family Adventures"
These are great for families, casual wildlife fans. For die-hard bird fans, you'll need the BIG Birds of Costa Rica book.
