Northern Tamandua, Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica

There are two types of tamandua in the world, the northern and the southern. The one that occurs in Central America is the northern. They aren’t exactly common, but I have had the pleasure of meeting about five or six of them over the years. This guy was my first encounter. Corcovado National Park in southern Costa Rica. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/8 at 1/60th of a second. Nikon SB-800 flash.
