Field Notes

Habitat:

Fairly large river that has quite a few fish and can seasonally rise by a few meters in this spot.

Notes:

This is the big resident crocodile in the Sapoa River next to the Cañas Castilla Lodge in Costa Rica. He's grown quite a bit since the first time I visited.
Higher resolution images can be seen on my Flickr page.
