He kept hoping the bird would not poop on him





A sloth, they are pretty boring, don't even move

butterfly hatching out, we watched it's first flight



Fortunately only saw these snakes in cages, none in the wild


The frogs are very camouflaged




There were 3 separate waterfalls, it was a long walk down to see them all, then took a shuttle back
