In more than thirty years of living in this region I have seen only nine grisóns, four pairs and one single. I know many local people who have never seen one and don’t know what they are. Those who have seen them usually don’t know what they are called. Those who do, call them musas. The grisón is considered rare and very little is known about them. Their scarcity has earned them a place in the CITES Appendix III, which protects them internationally, and they are also afforded protection under the Costa Rican endangered species law.
