Vision Visits Panama: The Quest for a Quetzal

I would be very interested in a list of native species, if it's not to much effort.

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier about this! I've finally compiled a list of El Nispero's native species. This is just going off of memory and a few pictures I have, but should provide a fairly accurate idea of their general collection. :)

Jaguar
Ocelot
Tayra
Coyote
Grey fox
Northern raccoon
Crab-eating raccoon
Black spider monkey
White-faced capuchin monkey
Geoffroy's tamarin
Central American agouti
Baird's tapir

Great tinamou
Great curassow
Muscovy duck
Black-bellied whistling-duck
Common ground dove
Ruddy ground dove
Blue ground dove
White-tipped dove
Pale-vented pigeon
Scaled pigeon
Band-tailed pigeon
Grey-necked wood rail
Wood stork
Common black hawk
Savanna hawk
White hawk
Short-tailed hawk
Grey-lined hawk
Keel-billed toucan
Yellow-throated toucan
Scarlet macaw
Great green macaw
Blue-and-yellow macaw
Painted parakeet
Blue-headed parrot
Red-lored amazon
Mealy amazon
Yellow-crowned amazon
Northern crested caracara
Collared forest falcon

Pond slider
Green iguana
American crocodile

I've also been able to find pictures of American barn owl, Lowland paca and (probably Panamanian?) Night monkey on google, but I didn't see these three species at the zoo so they are presumably no longer present on-show. Hope this helps!

Interesting! A lot of species in there that I've never seen before, and that were definitely not present on-show during my visit - I might have missed one of the conures but the others definitely weren't signed/exhibited anymore.

I don't know the year those pictures were taken and they might be behnd the scenes.

Satore's photos never being dated is always an annoying feature, especially because he randomly puts out individual photos as if they were new (e.g. one of a night monkey from Nispero on his Twitter in 2018). The earliest articles/references I see for his photos from Nispero are from 2016.
 
Just like for Vietnam, I've spent a bit of time uploading a few pictures from Panama! I haven't had time to upload everything yet, but I've done everything until day 8, which accounts for almost half of the pictures in total. Sorry for the long wait! :)

Your Central American Agouti and Variegated Squirrel photos have been added into the rodent photographic guide (part one) as they were "new" subspecies.
 
I've now uploaded the rest of the pics!

When I have a chance I shall have to go through them all to find all the photographic gaps you have filled for other threads :P offhand I think I can spot a few already.

The subspecies in central Panama isn't the same as the subspecies in Costa Rica? I didn't know that, otherwise I would have provided a photo of that subspecies months ago... What are the distributions of the different subspecies in Costa Rica and Panama?
