COSTA RICA TRIP PART 17: CANO NEGRO FROGS
8 December 2007
On wet spots in the meadows sometimes sounded an lot of noise. Even ear splitting from up close, although only hardly an inch long. The marine toad can weigh up to a kilo!

COSTA RICA TRIP PART 16: CANO NEGRO DRY
8 December 2007
The land is mainly cultivated here. Still lots to see. A potoo is incredibly camouflaged acting as a tree stump. A pencil thick red coffee snake hide under a fallen bromeliad and this brown dwarf gecko fell on a arm in the restaurant. Dwarf indeed: adult, but hardly two matchsticks wide!

Cano negro is a large wetland next to Lake Nicaragua. Masses of waterbirds step around over here. Pink spoonbills, crested caracaras, snail kites and lots of wintering American birds.

COSTA RICA TRIP PART 14: TORTUGUERO CROCS
6 December 2007
A large american crocodile awaits us athe edge of the park. A pity some boat captains come much too close too often and disturb them. Black Wood Turtles resting on a tree stump. Spectacled caimans are plentiful and easy to see.

COSTA RICA TRIP PART 13: TORTUGUERO LAND
6 December 2007
There is only limited walking jungle on the sand bank. Stil I bumped into a tayra (a big kind of marten, crossing my path), howler monkeys (in the picture with young), a bizarre grasshopper, a cute landcrab and strange shielded spiders. A nice boa constrictor crawled along the terrace of the lodge.
