Species: Taipir | Location: Parque Nacional Corcovado, Costa Rica
This young male taipir was perhaps 20 feet from me. We had hiked through a muddy section of the corcovado coastline. Many people we passed had seen nothing, but our guide Alex asked us all to remain still for just 15 minutes. The bright yellow wild plums on the ground are one of the taipir's favorite foods, so we were counting on that to attract one.
