Rain forests are unequaled in their richness of bird species. Toucans eat avocados, plucking them from trees and using beak and tongue to devour the skin and flesh, spitting out the seed. Most of us think of monkeys when we think of rain forests. In Costa Rica there are lots of howler monkeys and spider monkeys. Other mammals include guinea pig-like rodents called 'pacas' and 'agouti'.
Sloths live here, as do tapirs, jaguars and ocelots.
The sweet yellow warbler that visits your backyard in spring and summer probably spends the winter in a tropical rain forest. Like this margay from Belize. Or, the coatimundi, that lives both on ground and in trees.
