Our resident turkey vulture is a little cheeky. Notice how he poops whenever he sees our caretakers. It’s almost like he knows we’re coming to clean up the place!
SNC's resident Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrots were domesticated pets that were donated to us upon their owner's death. While in the wild their life expectancy is about 20-30 years, but in captivity that increases to 60-80 years. Talk about a life long companion!
The Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrots are one of the most intelligent species of parrots. They can typically be found along the Pacific Coast through Mexico and Costa Rica. Two of their main stressors are deforestation and illegal removal of young for the pet trade.

🌿 Who is the Central American Tigrina? This tiny wild cat (Leopardus tigrinus centralis) might be a subspecies… or a full species of its own. Some studies even link it closer to ocelots than to its supposed cousins. Mysterious, elusive, and stunningly spotted, it prowls the forests of Central America — quietly vanishing before we’ve even figured out exactly who it is. 🐾✨
The tayra, also known as the Eira barbara, is a fascinating member of the weasel family found in Central and South America's forests. Known for their agility and intelligence, tayras are adept climbers and hunters, often preying on birds, rodents, and even small mammals.
Meet the cacomistle, a nocturnal acrobat of the forests! 🌙🌿 This elusive little mammal is a cousin of raccoons, sporting big curious eyes and a striped tail that would make a fashion model jealous. It can climb like a pro and twist its ankles 180 degrees to scamper down trees headfirst—because why take the normal route? 🤸♂️

A new animal has been unveiled—one of the forest’s best-kept secrets: the Northern Olingo!
A member of the Procyonidae family (which includes the well-known raccoons and coatis), the olingo stands out with its elusive nature. Little is known about its behavior in the wild, making it a true mystery of the treetops.
I’m excited to share that this illustration is sponsored by [sponsor name] and [park name], a fantastic place to spot and photograph this rare creature.

A new animal was unveiled: the Javan Tiger. This is great news. The Javan Tiger was declared extinct in 2008, and there has been no sight of the animal since 1975. However, a single hair found near a plantation in Java matches 96% with a pelt of a Javan Tiger held in a museum, giving us hope that this population might not be extinct.
