This past academic year 17 students and 3 biology teachers travelled to Costa Rica. One of the main objectives of this trip was to introduce students to the wealth of biodiversity in a tropical area as well as bring attention the various adaptations of the different organisms to their particular environments. The students had the opportunity to observe wildlife such as; Howler, Spider and White-throated capuchin monkeys, a two-toed and three toed sloth, a collard anteater, a kinkajou, scorpions, various amphibians, snakes, dolphins and over 100 different bird species, and unknown numbers of different insect and plant species.
