The wildlife explosion










The canoe tour in the rain forest was almost too good to be true: the canoe slowly passing through the water, the guide pointing out all kinds of animals around us, the trees almost reaching down to our heads... But I guess that in an environment as lush as this you don't need to build cages to be able to present a whole lot of animals to visitors.

On a short trip we saw all the following animals: sloths (of course), a turtle, a basilisk lizard, bats (sleeping upside down under a tree trunk), lots of different colorful birds, even more different crabs, ants (carrying big pieces of leaves) and a small nonvenomous snake.

Now Kaisa's been able to cross almost all of the animals off her must-see list, but she also bought a new guidebook at the sanctuary, called The Wildlife of Costa Rica, so the list might well grow a lot longer overnight... This puts quite a lot of pressure on our last few days here!
