Photos

Tawny forest racer.
about three feet (1 metre) long.

Theobroma cacao.
This is where chocolate comes from..

Bamboo rat.
Most of the mammals are elusive and we only ever got to see them for a fleeting moment.

The green and rufous kingfisher.
With a moth on his head.

Theresa releases a scorpion onto her head.
The tailless whipped scorpions are harmless. Remember the Harry Potter movie? This is the lovely bug! See our comment on the previous rainforest entry.

Night swimming.
On a stream walk with all sorts of creepy crawlies. Andy, our fearless leader, kept on telling us to back up for the photo and it became very deep!

Muddy Dave.
Our Sunday football match with the locals of Puerto Rico always ended with either a mud fight or a water fight.

Malestomatacaea
This plant has ants living in it. The plant tolerates the ants as they feed on potential leaf eating insects.

Tent-making bats.
So called because they fold a leaf over to make a tent for themselves.

Jungle coffee.
and taters roasting on the coals.

Hey, TBo
