For July 5, 2012:
3 three-toed sloths
1 coati (Nasua nasua)
Coatis are related to raccoons, but have longer, skinnier tails and a snout more reminiscent of an anteater.
Yesterday I saw a raccoon coming down from a mangrove tree, which might not sound exciting but it is. Why? A different species of raccoon lives in mangroves than in cities--the crab-eating raccoon, which as its name suggests, eats crabs. Probably eats other stuff too. I've seen lots of raccoon tracks in the mangrove mud but never spotted one before.
I also saw some sort of eagle or hawk in the mangroves, but I'm a terrible birder so that one will go unidentified.
