What is a Tolomuco?

Bosque translates to Forest, so what does Tolomuco mean? A Tolomuco is a brown to black fox-sized mammal. It has a long and bushy tail with a light grayish head which is in contrast to the dark brown body. Tolomuco is the common name in Costa Rica. However, it is also known as a Tayra and is a member of the weasel family found in Canada and the Northern United States. It inhabits dry forests of Guanacaste, as well as wet lowland forests of the Caribbean and Southern Pacific slopes, and higher altitudes in Costa Rica.
