Wildlife tour

We saw a lot of wildlife while we were in Belize...alot of it was in the jungle and at Tikal during the evening/morning. Pictures we didn't get included large iguanas, monkeys, and toucans.

This bird is the Montezuma Oropendola and it a very unique call that we heard very often in Tikal...it also makes these hanging nests in the trees and has a bright yellow tail.

This is the Coati...the central american version of the racoon...but obviously not nocturnal...we ran into a whole group of the on one of paths in Tikal...very much at home.

This is Spooky, the pet of the owner of the place we had lunch at during the canoe down the river..he also had a german sheppard and kitten, and all three liked to play together.

We also saw a few crocodiles...these ones are babies at Tikal, but we saw large ones on Ambergis Caye, the local kids would put on a show and feed them with raw chickens on ropes.
 

This ray came right up to shore and was making a hole, maybe nesting or feeding...


This is the conch..not the prettiest animal but it can live for 5-7 days outside the water.
