Who doesn't love a little trivia?! Here's the first installment of Fun Fact Friday!! Hopefully this serves as a way to learn a little more about Costa Rica, Young Life, and who knows what else!

Costa Rica only takes up 0.03% of Earth's surface by landmass but is home to more than 5% of the world's biodiversity. There are more than:
130 species of freshwater fish
160 species of amphibians
208 species of mammals
220 species of reptiles (hopefully these stay far, far away)
850 species of birds
1,000 species of butterflies
1,200 varieties of orchids
