Costa Rican Rainforest Photo Gallery
Parrot snake
"This parrot snake (Leptophus spp) is an arboreal snake perfectly
suited to hunting undetected in low bushes and trees where its
camouflage conceals it from both predator and prey. Not
dangerous to people, it is specialized for a diet of small lizards and
frogs. This individual was photographed in the forest of Rara Avis
reserve."
Passion flower
"Passion flowers, such as this Passiflora vitifolia, are commonly seen near the
ground in low to middle elevation rainforests, are attractive both to insects,
which feed upon them, and to hummingbirds upon which they rely for
pollination. The photograph was taken in the Rara Avis reserve, on the
border of Braulio Carillo National Park."
Capuchin monkey
"This White-throated Capuchin monkey (Cebus capuchinus) was
photographed in the Santa Rosa section of the Guanacaste
National Park in Costa Rica, where they are used to humans and
relatively easily seen."
