What is amazing at Iguana Lodge is that you have the chance to see any of the jungle wildlife either on our property or within a few minute walk. Even the unexpected…
As I was crossing the river next to our property I saw a large American Crocodile (about 8 feet) on the river bank. I then noticed that there was even a larger croc floating only a few feet away in the river (Rio Platanares).

As I returned back from my run, I saw that both crocs were in the water, moving around each other, one sticking its snout in the air. I checked it out on you tube and my guess is it is the mating ritual of crocodiles. Unfortunately I did not have time to capture it on camera before they disappeared below the surface. I imagine we will see baby crocs in about 2-3 months hanging out in the river.
