Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, Rainforest Wildlife (February 2007)

Manuel Antonio Costa Rica Rainforest Wildlife cover page.	Map of Costa Rica with the star indicating the location of Manuel Antonio.	An owl that I shot with my camera through a telescope.	A sign as I entered the trail into Manuel Antonio National Park.
These are bats hanging off of a tree in the rainforest.	Another photo of the bats.	Close-up shot of the bats.	The rainforest trail went along the edge of the Manuel Antonio Beach.
We now were entering an area of the rainforest where there were lots of white faced (capuchin) monkeys.	White faced monkeys are the most commonly seen monkey in Manuel Antonio National Park.	This little guy was eating some fruit.	Here are two fine white faced monkey specimens!
They were enjoying the fruit together.	He's watching the tour group below.	A handsome white faced monkey splayed out on a tree branch.	These monkeys live in the rainforests of Central and South America.
White faced monkeys are extremely intelligent.	This monkey is getting ready to eat.	He opens wide to eat the fruit.	Very tasty!
He is contemplating something on a branch above him.	The mother white faced monkey carries her baby on her back.	The baby's face looks more like an old man's face!	The mother contemplates her next move.
This is an older white faced monkey climbing on a rock.	He looks very wise.	This monkey is very wide-eyed.	Here is another mature looking white faced monkey.
They can live to be 40 years or more.	A lizard that I saw in Manuel Antonio National Park.	An iguana was eating another lizard.	This repulsive scene spoiled my lunch that day!
