About Ocho Verde Wildlife
Ocho Verde Wildlife documents the living rainforest of Costa Rica through authentic trail-camera footage, field observations, and documentary-style stories from the Ocho Verde Wildlife Refuge. We also capture wildlife field observations across the United States with a focus on herpetology and native snake species.
Here you’ll find real animal behavior, field discoveries, conservation stories, and the unexpected moments that make wild habitats so fascinating. Some videos let nature speak for itself through natural sound and closed captions, while others follow the detective work behind an encounter.
Our goal is to offer a respectful, evidence-based window into wild places while helping viewers better understand and appreciate the animals that live there.
