Costa Rica Pictures

Today we traveled down the rivers feeds into  Lake Nicaragua. We saw an Emerald Basilisk (Jesus Christ lizard), Green Iguanas, long noised bats, Two toed sloth, snake bird, wood storks, howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, King Fishers (Green, Amazon, Pygmy, Ring), Herons, Egrets,





















But the highlight  of the day had to be when Kyle decided to swim with the Crocodiles and the machaca fish (relative of the piranha).

Two Toed Sloth

In the tree!




Plants

There are all sorts of plant life here. They have one plant for pain and it numbed dad's mouth and others plants  for bug repellent and even a plant that has a milk like substance.

Today we visited the tropical rainforest and saw poison dart frogs, 3 toed sloth and her baby, toucan, families of howler monkeys, Leaf ants, surrounded by Long nose bats as we climbed up the trees to the top of the rainforest canopy
A little light headed after a day in the rainforest, not use to such a oxygen rich environment (20% oxygen)
Costa Rica fact – It has 1% of world land mass and produces 5% of the world’s oxygen (30 years ago it was 15%)














In the tree tops!!
