I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

I like the way you got the camera lens between the cage bars so the Toucan looks like he is in the wild.

Nice pictures Bill. The first one is a plant found a lot around here. It is wild passion fruit, called here maracuja do mato. You can make juice from the fruits just like the domestic variety. I just love those toucans. Did you see any flying around? They fly like their beak is dragging them down.

Bill

It's like a very large guinea pig, essentially a rodent.

The resident pathologist on bus #1 spotted this beautiful "bird-eating tree snake". Yup, that's the scientific name.

Others must have seen a coati, yes? This fellow is cruising through the grounds at Corcovado. He is about the size of a small dog or very large cat.

Kim,

Normally I avoid the words "cute" and "rodent" in the same sentence, but that rodent (a/k/a agouti) having his breakfast is actually kind of cute! :lol:

I bet they would be great if marinated in "mojo" for two days prior to grilling. Trinidad Bob and I think we saw a family of them at INBioparque. They moved pretty quickly and we never got a chnace of a photo of them. Thanks for your pictures - it sparked another memory of the trip!
