Veracruz Station harbors more than 400 known vertebrate animal species and it is estimated that an equal number has yet to be catalogued.
The station is the home to a number of mammals, including cougars and ocelots, along with many endemic species such as the Robust Tufted Capuchin monkey (Cebus apella robustus), the Three-toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus), Geoffroy's Tufted-ear Marmoset (Callithrix geoffroyi) and the Thin-spined Porcupine (Chaetomys subspinosus).
