There are 4629 mammals in the world and 324 occur in Ecuador. It is important to mention that most rainforest mammals are inconspicuous and hard to spot being small, well camouflaged, shy and nocturnal. They are widely distributed, so it is necessary to be at the right spot at the right time. Also, many of them have been hunted for years, so it gets sometimes difficult to spot them within the dense vegetation.

At Sani Lodge there are chances of seeing many of them! Our territory consists in 37,000 hectares of protected and, in some parts, virgin forest where wild animals live freely without being hunted. Since our project started, natives stopped their hunting habits to change for the protection of the endangered species that live in their land.

Nowadays, in a tour through the forest you may be able to see:

• Noisy Night Monkeys
• Black mantled Tamarin Monkeys
• Squirrel Monkeys
• White fronted Capuchin Monkeys
• Dusky Titi Monkey
• Red howler Monkey
• Woolly Monkey
• Pygmy Marmoset
• Black Agouti
• Long Nosed Bat
• Bulldog Bat
• And others...
