Nicaraguan Animals

What has some of the most untouched rain forest in the world? Nicaragua! Many Diggers and Buzzers flood the rain forest, insects dominate the population. Millions of bugs call this their home. But with life, there must be death. Anteaters, armadillos, and sloths are the most common mammals inhabitant. Armadillos will eat any insect that they can catch. Their claws make them some of the best diggers in the world! So are anteaters, they have to tare open termite mounds. The margay is a cat that during the day waits for birds to come to their nest so they can attack. At twilight they go to the ground to hunt smalls mammals, mainly rats though. The adult margay is a surprisingly small and has a beautiful coat. The Cougar and puma are thought of most often when you say cat here. The jaguar are the biggest one though. Many animal rome freely here, there is even more animals than people here!
