The Green Ibis is a wading bird that lives in wooded swamps and wet forest habitats. AIMG_0839

Male Green Iguanas, the largest lizards in Costa Rica, are normally green but they turn orange in breeding season to impress the ladies. They prefer to perch on trees above water. If danger approaches they make their escape by diving into the water below. They normally are arboreal with the female climbing to the ground only to lay eggs. This fellow must have jumped into the water beside the tree and now is faced with the daunting task of climing back up to his high perch. AxMG_1932

Green Basilisk at Cano Negro. The unique thing about this lizard is that it can run on its hind legs for short distances on the surface of water. AxMG_2416
