My Life In Costa Rica *LOTS OF PICS*

editing... pics were too big

Three-Toed Sloths >>>> Two Toed. I've had a soft spot for Three-Toed Sloths since I was in the 6th grade. Don't know why...

About sloths...

In two hours I saw two sloths fall out of a tree. With one of them the vine broke, and the other one went down to poop (very rare to see, happens like every week), and on his way back up he fell down. I was literally less than 10 feet away.

Thanks god both were unharmed.

I've seen a few cross the road. I lived there for 9 months with a Tico family.

:D sorry. But, from what i've seen in your other thread you ran into quite a few animals that aren't easy to find. Boas are like ghosts in the rainforest. Pitvipers aswell. How long were you in Costa Rica for? I saw you've been to some of the hotspots, like tarcoles and arenal.

I was there for 15 days. The boa was in a burrow next to the path (pointed out a by a guide) but the viper was on Cerro Chato (a hike right by Arenal).

It was amazing... I want to go to La Selva for research later on in life.
