What is the difference between tropical and neotropical?
Neotropical refers to one of the eight biogeographic regions of the world. Specifically the neotropics are the region of the New World stretching from central Mexico southward through Central America and most of South America. It also includes the West Indies and southern Florida. The neotropics is delineated by similarities in flora and fauna and is characterized by having much of the worlds' remaining rain and cloud forests. Tropical refers to a geographic band circling the earth between 23.5 ~ north and south of the equator and delineated by the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The region includes some of the neotropics but not all. The tropics contain over one-third of the world's land mass.

Is a cockatiel an exotic animal?
It depends which part of the world you are in. When discussing animal (or plant) species exotic means foreign (non-native to the area, introduced by humans). If you are in the toucan's natural range (in the neotropics) then no, otherwise yes.

What are gibnuts?
From: http://www.belizezoo.org/zoo/zoo/mammals/gib/gib1.html The Paca, known as the gibnut in Belize, is a nocturnal rodent. Inhabiting the forest floor, this solitary animal feeds on fallen fruit, leaves and some tubers dug from the ground. The gibnut is most often found near water and are found throughout many habitats of Belize, from river valleys to swamps to dense tropical forest. The gibnut is the most prized game animal of Belize and the Neotropics. They are easily hunted by day with dogs which can sniff out the paca's dens, or during the night with headlamps while they feed. While thriving in Belize's many protected areas, the paca has been hunted to extinction in many parts of its range from Mexico to Southern Brazil. In many of Belize's protected areas, gibnut can be heard and seen at night. This large rodent makes lots of noise while walking through the dry leaves of the forest or while chewing on the hard shells of the cohune nut, one of its favorite foods. The gibnut also produces a hoarse bark or a deep rumbling when disturbed.
