The Rainforest Floor: reptiles and amphibians.
Many reptiles "hide in plain sight" through camouflage -
many are able to shift their color to match their
background! |

Can you see the lizard resting on the log? If not, move
the cursor around until it points it out. |
This spiny iguana could not look more like the rock upon
which he sits! From the viewpoint of a hawk looking down upon the rock, he will
be invisible. |

Watch out for this snake! - Oops, it's just a
vine! |
Our guide, Marguerita, pointed and said; "oh, there's a
vine snake". "Where?", I said, trying to look deep into the growth. "About 6
inches in front of your nose", she said!
"Ohhhh - THAT snake!" |

|

|
The vine snake sits very still, looking like a vine,
avoiding being eaten - and waiting for something to come along for him to
eat! |
Always keep your eyes open for small surprises in the
rainforest! This frog was sleeping for the day under a palm
leaf. |

|
If you want to see (and hear!) frogs, take a walk at
night! |
Of course, if you are around water, you will always find
turtles! |
