Costa Rica - Manuel Antonio


Manuel Antonio Park is a small rainforest near the coast with lots of great wildlife. 

This sloth was hanging out, literally, outside our hotel room door.
 
 

This is an agouti. We didn't think that much of it at first, but apparently they're really timid and hard to find. We saw a momma and a baby.

Outside our room.

A blue morphos butterfly. It's blue on the inside, but it moves so fast I couldn't get a shot of it opened!
 

There we were walking to the beach, and we ran into a group of Capuchin monkeys.

They have these special ropes to allow monkeys to cross the street without killing themselves on the electrical wires.

As he was crossing, these birds kept attacking him, Kamakazi style. It was crazy. 
 
 

Scarlet Ibis

Howler Monkey. The noise they make is haunting.

Capuchins are not timid around people. They've been know to come snatch a camera or snack.
