costa rica wildlife rescue

Costa Rica is home to about 140 snake species, of which only 23 are considered venomous.

Grumpy took home this year’s trophy after scoring 1,013.25 points.

The animal was fitted with a GPS-enabled collar before it was set free at an undisclosed location.

Costa Rica's Firefighters’ Corps reported that nearly 100 firefighters and volunteers managed to control some 75 percent of the wildfire on Sunday.

When two former veterinarians filed a scathing complaint against the world-renowned Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica in Cahuita, it sent shockwaves through the rescue center that founder Judy Avey-Arroyo began 24 years ago.
