Two Examples of Costa Rican Plants and Animals


Watch the leaves.... this is a mimosa plant. The resident biologist, Ryan, is not sure why the plant closes its leaves when people touch it but he suspects it is for protection. This is just one awesome example of unique plant life in Costa Rica!


This is a striped basilisk (like Harry Potter). We were actually on a bird walk, but then Ryan happened to spot this on the side of the road. It was bobbing its head and basking in the sun while we watched it. It's another excellent example of the Costa Rican wildlife!

¡Hasta luego!

Kyra the brave! Glad you are having a good time with basilisks and man-eating plants! Love you! Mom.
