All of the following live in Costa Rica. Some of them were in captivity when we took photos, but they seemed content since they were still in their natural habitat. Many of them we have seen living quite happily in the rainforest along the shoreline.

Josh holds two cans – or toucans. Six species are found here. |
These crocs are behind a chain link fence, but occassionally their friends in the river swim out into the ocean. Cuidado! |
Crocodile Smile |
Crocodiles. We walked out to the middle of a bridge and Joshua counted 19 of them scramble for a turkey carcass we threw to them. It's much more fun than making soup. |
Two of the 50 species of hummingbirds that live here. I often watch my favorite bright red hummingbirds look for nectar in the tree outside our house. |
So serious. I love lizards. |
Capuchin Monkey |
A tiny crab in the rainforest |
Jaguars – we saw two of them (behind a chain link fence) playfully fighting and growling. |
Scarlet Macaws - a rare sighting of these shy parrots at Playa Hermosa. They mate for life and live up to 70 years. Their long tail forms a stately and unmistakable silhouette as they fly. |
White nosed coati – but you can't see his nose in this photo. It’s in the same family as the racoon but has a long snout and tail. |
