Comprehension Section:

1. Read the following text and write all the nouns from it.

2. Colombia is the second most biodiverse country on the planet and no. 1 in biodiversity
per square mile. This South American nation has truly remarkable wildlife that dedicated
naturalists can seek out and enjoy observing. Here are 11 of the most amazing animal
species you can spot on a trip to Colombia.

Noun: Colombia

Trip

3. Pink river dolphin:  The Amazon river dolphin is more commonly known as pink river
dolphin, on account of the vivid pink colouration that many take on as they get older and
their skin endures more abrasions. With their strange long noses and rounded heads, as
well as their shy nature, these dolphins are far from any Flipper clichés, and are an
amazingly beautiful addition to any visit to the Colombian Amazon. They can be seen
throughout the Amazonia and Orinoquia regions of Colombia, making a trip to see – and
swim with – pink river dolphins an essential part of any tour in the region.

Noun: amazon

4. Cotton-top tamarin: These crazy looking little monkeys are endemic to Colombia,

meaning that they can only be seen in this country in the whole world. They are
extremely rare, but luckily for wildlife enthusiasts, a small population was introduced in
Tayrona National Park in a successful attempt to preserve the species. With their curious
nature and tuft of bright-white fur, cotton-top tamarins are a memorable part of a visit to
Tayrona and are, gratifyingly, relatively easy to spot on the forest trails of the park at
dawn and dusk.

Noun: monkeys

5. Orinoco crocodile: These mighty creatures are the largest species of crocodile and
predator in the Americas. They are also critically endangered, having been mercilessly
hunted for their skins in the 19th and 20th centuries. Seeing an Orinoco crocodile in the
wild is extremely unlikely, and only really possible in the isolated Tuparro National park
on the Venezuelan border. However, luckily for all budding herpetologists, there is a
thriving Orinoco crocodile breeding and reintroduction programme at Wisirare Park in
the eastern plains of Casanare department, where visitors can get up close and personal
with some of the 17 feet (5.18 meter) giants.

6. The 89’98 butterfly: With over 1,600 known species, Colombia is one of the most
butterfly-diverse countries in the world, and any hike through the jungles and forests of
the country will yield sightings of myriad species of the brightly coloured insects. The
weirdest and most wonderful though is Diaethria phlogea, a native species also known as
the 89’98 butterfly due to the distinct number patterns on its outer wings

7. Jaguar: The third largest feline species after the lion and tiger, and the largest in the
Americas, the jaguar is one of the most iconic natural symbols of Colombia. They are
threatened, and extremely hard to observe in the wild on account of their nocturnal
habits and shyness, but they are also surprisingly widespread in Colombia, even
occurring in popular tourist spots like Tayrona National Park. The best place to seek out

 9. Capybara:  The capybara – known in Colombia as the chigüiro – is the largest rodent
species in the world. Although they are not unique to Colombia, occurring in all South
American countries except Chile, seeing wild capybaras is an unmissable experience for
wildlife enthusiasts visiting Colombia, simply for their bizarre appearance and extreme
size, like a giant guinea pig. They are widespread in the Eastern Plains of Colombia –
where they are also considered a real delicacy – and especially easy to see in the dry
season when vast family groups of up to 100 individuals gather around watering holes.

10. Poison dart frog: With the largest number of amphibian species on earth, Colombia is
probably the best place on earth to see wild frogs. But these aren’t just any frogs:
Colombia is home to some of the most colorful and poisonous frogs on the planet. Known
colloquially as poison dart frogs or arrow frogs, due to indigenous peoples once using
their venom as a weapon during hunting, there are many different species unique to
Colombia. The most spectacular species is the bright yellow golden poison frog: the most
venomous vertebrate in the world, and endemic to the Pacific coast of Colombia.

Nouns: Colombia

11. Spectacled bear:  Also known as the Andean bear, this is the last remaining species of
short-faced bear, and is an extremely rare inhabitant of high-altitude moors and forests.
The only surviving species of bear native to South America, it is extremely hard to spot a
spectacled bear in the wild, but the best place to do so is the vast moorlands of Chingaza
National Park, just outside Bogotá. They are still highly threatened by poaching and
habitat destruction but are considered one of Colombia’s most important native species.

12. Andean condor:  The majestic Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world by
combined measurement of weight and wingspan, and is the national bird of Colombia, in
spite of the fact that fewer than 100 remain in the wild here. There is nothing quite like
seeing an adult Andean condor in flight, soaring above the mighty peaks of the Andes,
and the best place to observe these magnificent birds in the wild in Colombia are the
Cocora Valley, Puracé National Park, and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

13. Giant anteater: Probably the most surreal native species in Colombia, the giant anteater
is like something from a children’s cartoon show, with its strange long nose and giant
bushy tail. Found roaming the wide-open plains of the Colombia’s eastern departments,
these anteaters – also known locally as ant bears – can measure up to 7 feet (2.13
meters) in length, and weigh almost 100lbs (45.4 kg). They feed primarily on termites
and ants, using their massive claws and long, sticky tongues to eat thousands of the
insects every day.

 14. Humpback whale: Colombians like to say that “all humpback whales are born in
Colombia,” and while this isn’t strictly true, the Pacific coast of the country is one of the
most important breeding and calving grounds of the mighty cetaceans on the planet. The
humpbacks arrive in the region in large numbers in June and stay until around October,
taking advantage of the lack of predators in the warm tropical waters to give birth and
teach their young calves. They are easily seen in these months from small boats
departing from small towns in the sparsely populated Chocó department: Nuqui and
Bahia Solano are the best spots to visit.
