A New Species.....

So we arrive in in Monteverde at 1pm, a place famous for the spectacular rain forest in the clouds and well worth the journey. Just a word of warning, the last 2 hours is pretty much on dirt track. Brace yourself for the bumpy ride but made plausible with the stunning mountain views.

Eager to see some wildlife, we booked ourselves onto night and day tours. Definitely worth every penny and always a wonder on how these guides spot reptiles in the wildlife...and in the darkness???!!!. We managed to see snakes, tarantulas at night and white faced monkeys and sloths in the day plus a bonus class on how to survive in the rainforest. The photos are on the way....

However, a moment I'm especially proud of, being zoologically challenged, while walking amongst the bushes, having just seen a sloth in the wild, I suddenly spotted something white..and moving...So I yell to the guide... so sure it must be another animal of some kind...
little to do I realise...out pops a human.....male....Yes a species...I should say ...yet to be studied and always a wonder...hehehehe....
