Day two in the field: Plantation Trail

Holding a seed from the seed pod below


So safari right now


Young leaves of many species are a different color so as to be ignored by herbivores that locate adult targets based on color.


Hector showing us an abandoned leaf cutter home




Frog!


Termite tunnel

A break in the tunnel reveals the multitudes of termites.


Upper left, there's a sloth in the branches!!


Fun fact: tropical trees don't have rings that show their age because there are no seasons here.


Check out those buttresses.



Seed pods that look like bloody bandaids...



Two howler monkeys!
