We're here in the rain forest of Costa Rica, managing a Tree House B&B, where the tree houses (seven total) are high amongst the trees...our neighbors consist of loads of hummingbirds, some monkeys, sloths, frogs, snakes, iguanas, geckos and various other critters...we look forward to sharing with you some pics and blog entries as we continue on our jungle journey...

It doesn't get much more jurassic than this. This is an iguana, which we see pretty often down this way, though not so much on the ground. This fellow was getting long in the tooth (it had lost a good portion or its tail which is a primary defensive unit) and was hanging out on the ground.
These critters can move pretty quickly, surprisingly so at times, and their tails can whip around really fast when they want (and have them).
We are guessing that the longer the waddle (or whatever you call the baggy under-the-throat-thing) the older the iguana is.
They really like to get up high in a tree and sun themselves, and just take in the sights.
