The Rancho animals

 

The Mono Titi, as they call it here, is a beautiful monkey that regularly travels in large groups through the trees of the Rancho. Banana and mango trees are definitely the favorites of our Titi's and sometimes we put a banana on the roof to see which monkey has the most guts to come and get it.

It is singing in our garden every morning, brings its girlfriend often, has a beautiful yellow head and both us and our guests are very impressed with it.

There are plenty iguanas in the Rancho garden. You will see them chase after each other, climb trees and run over the roofs..

When the turtle eggs hatch, new life starts for hundreds of baby turtles with their first meters to the sea on the beach of the Rancho.

The cangrejo. They can dig like moles, they as plenty as ants, during the night they make Hitchcock-like sounds when climbing walls and if you are unlucky they will bite your toe while you sleep.

There are a lot of snake species in Costa Rica and thus also in our garden. In the dry season they are a little more rare, but chances are that you will run into one somewhere.

While snorkeling in the tide pools of the reef you will find all kinds of tropically colored fish.

Also the sloth takes a look around the corner now and then.

We don't have any crocodiles on the Rancho, but, as one of our regular Rancho dwellers can tell, you don't have to go far from the Rancho to find them on your way.
