Panama rainforest is
the largest rainforest on American continents after Amazon.
This
pristine forest, almost impenetrable jungle in places, is the remaining
third of the original Panaman rainforests, and is now considered
threatened.
It contains mammals like
armadillos,
anteaters, sloths, deer, tapirs
and jaguars. There are also 93 frog and 650
bird
species.
Chagres National Park
which covers 129,000 hectares is home to 1185 species of plants, 130 of
which are endemic.
There are white tail deers, spider monkeys, tapirs
and jaguars in the humid tropical rainforests that cover a rugged
country with volcano hills. Birds include toucans,
woodpeckers
and
harpy eagles. And the waterways contain babillos and crocodiles.
Choco
Darien rainforest,
along the
Pacific coast in
south-eastern Panama, contains 10,000 plant species, tamarins, spider
monkeys, pumas, ocelots, jaguars, and many endemic birds, amphibins and
