There is a rainforest national park within walking
distance of the Shelter Bay marina. It has an abundance of wildlife,
such as sloths, monkeys, pythons and crocodiles. One busload
from the marina, on a trip through the forest, did get to see spider
monkeys in the trees.
We didn't see the monkeys but we did see a crocodile
sunning itself on a rock when we first entered the marina. Also
we went for a walk in the forest and Estella saw
something small and furry that scurried away and was probably an Agouti
(like a large guinea pig).
Unfortunately we have no photos of any exotic
animals, but here is a picture of some leafcutter ants carrying their
leaves down the white line at the side of the road through the
forest.
