Belize´s Fauna

The howl of the black howler monkey, welcomes you to Belize. The noise of this animal is so chilling that is constantly confused with the jaguar. Almost all are in the Community Baboon Sanctuary. Flamingos, herons, egrets, white ibis, toucans, cormorants have found their ideal habitat here. At night, tree frogs, lizards and thousands of species of insects make their appearance. Smaller animals, insects, can be a real surprise. If you suddenly look at a few hundred lights, more than ten miles away, are the spiders. The parasol ants live with fungi and are easy to observe in the trees. Here snakes are quite common. Hundreds of species of mammals roam the jungle, zagüeyas, armadillos, kinkajous, anteaters, the paca, jaguar, jaguarundi, margay, ocelot, pumas and many more. These strange animals make Belize a different country. The "mountain cow" as they call the northern tapir, with its three hundred kilos, is the biggest animal in the jungle.

These and other animal species may be found by visiting the beautiful country of Belize.
