Animals of Costa Rica 2.0: rebuilt from the ground up
Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild of the app: 7,026 species, 10,581 photos, places to visit, IUCN Red List status and iNaturalist links. Your favourites, seen species and purchases are kept.
Costa Rica’s wildlife, in your pocket.
Our mobile app covers Costa Rica's fauna with more than 7,000 species and over 10,500 photographs: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, insects, arachnids and more. Browse the taxonomy, search by name, filter by region or IUCN Red List status, and find lodges, research stations and national parks worth a visit.
New: version 2.0
Rebuilt from the ground up
Version 2.0 runs on current iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets. Many species are free from the start, and more come in optional packages. Once the pictures are downloaded, the app works without a connection, which helps on remote trips and in places with weak signal.
