TO GO WTH AFP STORY --- A Central American Agouti seeks shelter from the sun under a tree on February 21, 2010 in the Palo Verde National Park, on the Guanacaste province, 240 north from San Jose, a place that keeps one of the most important sanctuaries in Central America for local and migratory acuatic birds, specially now in dry season. About 15 different habitats inside the seasonal wetland allow the presence of about 279 species of birds and mamals like the white-lipped peccary, racoon, Central American agouti, coatimundi and jaguar.
