Some wildlife of Panama.
Coatimundi
Tamandua
(anteater)
Three-toed
Sloth
Caiman (Crocodilian)
Bird Spider
Leafcutter Ants (everywhere .. always)
Bushmaster (venomous snake) - Strike provoked on heated dummy arm
Howler Monkey (you should hear them complain about the rain!)
Black Jaguar
More Cutters (their trails are difficult to avoid in the dark!)
And let's not leave out my
personal favorites, the giant grasshoppers.
These things range in size
from 6 - 9 inches in length.
This small-ish
one landed on my boot one day while I was on duty.
I always wondered if it
was safe to turn your back on these things.
