Panama's Darién jungle is the largest tropical rain forest in the Western Hemisphere outside the Amazon Basin. The entire north coast of Panama is densely forested and contains more than 2,000 species of tropical plants. This habitat also supports a wide array of animals common to Central and South America, including ocelots, sloths, armadillos, pumas, anteaters, spider and howler monkeys, deer, caimans, crocodiles, and many snakes. It has one of the most diverse populations of birds in the world, ranging from colorful tropical species to long-distance migrating birds. Due to its unique location, Panama has several animal species found nowhere else, such as the golden tree frog and giant tree sloth. In populated areas, however, most of the native animals have been hunted or driven. Panama's Darién jungle is the largest tropical rain forest in the Western Hemisphere outside the Amazon Basin.

World Health Organization figures (Which have been used to make some of these estimates) have to be looked at with caution though as they are a pro circumcision organization that has a reputation for distorting the prevalence of circumcision upwards. Odds are that the prevalence is much lower as there is no religious or cultural tradition related to circumcision in this country.
