So, as I mentioned in a
previous post, last Saturday I went hiking in the Cahuita National Park. Saw a bunch of interesting creatures: a very poisonous (but thankfully sleeping) snake, a Coati, and a Costa Rican racoon. I also saw some monkeys trying to steal lunches, but I already covered monkey-thieves in my post about
Manuel Antonio. Pics below:
Cahuita Point (where we hiked to)
A poisonous (but sleeping) snake. It was actually a bit off of the path - a ranger had found it and shown some other folks - so I felt a lot safer walking the paths knowing the snake hadn't been that close.
left: a Coati.
below - video of the Coati. Larissa, I took thse pics/videos especially for you. Even though I had to get pretty close, which was difficult because I still have PTSD from being attacked by Beastie! (for those outside my family, my sister had a pet Coati, and it didn't particularly like me, except as a chew toy).
left: man scolding a Costa Rican raccoon, shortly before feeding it again.
below: a video of the raccoon, who just wants more food, scaring the crap out of some girls, who in turn scare the crap out of him.
