At Refugio Animal, you'll encounter a remarkable diversity of Costa Rica's wildlife in various stages of rehabilitation. Common patients include three-toed and two-toed sloths, often orphaned or injured by power lines and traffic. Several monkey species arrive regularly, particularly howler monkeys affected by urbanization. Colorful bird species including toucans, scarlet macaws, and various parrots recover from injuries or confiscation from the illegal pet trade. Reptiles such as iguanas, various snake species, and occasionally crocodilians require specialized care. Less common but regular arrivals include kinkajous, coatis, anteaters, armadillos, and porcupines. Beyond the animals themselves, you'll witness the entire rehabilitation process—from emergency intake and medical treatment to physical therapy, specialized feeding programs, and pre-release conditioning. The facility includes treatment rooms, recovery enclosures, outdoor habituation areas, and food preparation spaces, providing a comprehensive view of wildlife rehabilitation practices.
