Surprises of Belize

A very rare cat: the jaguarundi, the size of a lynx and...
The star of Belize wildlife : the Jaguar.
a huge crocodile yawns...
The spider monkey laughs at us
under the stare of a big howler monkey
a beautiful but poisonous Corral snake
They call it: Jesus Christ lizard!
The next day a tree Iguana looked at us
at Lamanai: the steep steps of the Maya temple...
with huge Maya head sculptures
and next to it the Jaguar temple
We went to the Tikal temple in Guatemala
met locals with traditional clothes
Add caption
I discovered the Oropendolas
and the colorful Belize turkey(dinde)
Mating time: a male frigate parades his red pouch
a young Osprey ( Balbuzard) in his nest...
a Harpy Eagle
a keel billed Tucan
We had to dive to enter this huge Maya cave
The main room was our reward
a km. deeper in the cave we discovered a skull of a man sacrificed to the Maya gods
diving in the islands, a huge nurse shark
and a beautiful parrot fish
