Field Notes

Description:

Brown body with darker legs and a banded tail. This guy was cracking me up with how he would look straight at me and not move his head but the tip of his nose was moving all over the tree and smelling it. Love these guys so much :)

Habitat:

This guy was from a group of about 15 I saw run across the sidewalk in front of me and all run up into the trees. Jungle of both sides of the road.
