I promised to follow-up with more critter pictures from the trip to Mexico. I saw this egret along the waters edge and I watched him catch a fish and eat it. You can just barely see the fish in his beak. Survival of the fittest… as they say.
Right next to the Egret was this sign.
And right beyond the sign was this….
Nice teeth buddie!
My favorite critter on this entire trip is in the next several photos. Between my husband and myself I think we took at least 150 photos of this guy. He was amazing to see. One of the biggest Iguanas I have ever seen. He was hanging out with one of his smaller buddies on the under side of the bridge. The big Iguana was around 6 to 7 feet in length. (I did not get close enough to take an exact measurement!)
The spiked pieces on his back looked like pieces of leather. It reminded me of a dragon quilt I stitched many years ago. I might have sewn the spiked pieces on the back of my dragon differently had I seen this guy first.
Joe took this fantastic close-up shot of Mr. Iguana’s leg. Look at the textures and how the scales form and how they fit together. I was very intrigued with this guy. Joe and I must have stayed there for 2 hours just photographing and watching him.
On my next and final installment of critters from Mexico I’ll take you to the turtle farm.
