  • The green iguana (Iguana iguana) has parietal eye, or “third eye”, that allows it to detect incoming attacks by flying predators such as hawks and eagles. This parietal eye is located above the centre of its head and appears as a semi-translucent scale in the adult stage. The “third eye” is not able to make sharp or defined images but it is able to collect the shadows of flying predators as they get within close distance. Green Iguana Conservation Project , San Ignacio, Belize.

  • A greater sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx bilineata) smiles for the camera. An insectivore native to Central and South America, it is commonly found in or on the outside of hollow trees. The term "sac-winged" refers to small pouches on the bats wings that are used by males to attract females and to mark their harem territory. The males will fill these sacs with glandular secretions, and during mating displays the male will use his wings to fan the female vigorously and expose her to the scent mixture in the wing sacs. Males will also shake the contents of the sac towards bats outside of the male's harem territory to warn off intruders. Selva Verde Rainforest Reserve, Costa Rica.

  • A pair of endangered Scarlet Macaws ( Ara macao cyanoptera ) keep watch on their nesting tree near the Raspacullo river, Belize. A subspecies of the Scarlet Macaws in South America (Ara macao macao), there are an estimated 150-200 wild Scarlet Macaws in Belize. In 2003 the controversial Chalillo hydro-electric dam was built, resulting in the flooding of the only known area in Belize where Scarlet Macaws nest. Formed in 2012, the volunteer run and funded Scarlet Six Biomonitoring Team, a small team of community rangers, was formed out of a dire need to help protect the macaw chicks from heavy Guatemalan poaching.  In 2011, almost 90% of the active nests in the area were poached by Guatemalans, this number is now down to 30% due to their regular patroling of the nest sites along the rivers, via boat and on foot, and their very visible presence.

  • Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus). Newton is an imprinted owl who has lived at the ORC since 2012. The beautiful glow in Newtons eyes is caused by the light cast on his nictitating membrane. This transparent third eyelid is found in birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, and is used for protection and to moisten the eye while maintaining vision.

  • A beautiful python millipede (Nyssodesmus python), scurrying across a dead stump in the damp shade of the Costa Rican jungle, his thick, yellow-orange and black striped armor stood out in contrast to the dark wood and moss. This species of flat-backed millipede of the family Platyrhacidae, feeds primarily on decaying organic matter and is usually found on rotting logs, leaves, bark and under rocks. Rather than run or bite, the python millipede will curl up and release an unpleasant liquid from its rear containing hydrogen cyanide and benzaldehyde —though it is not potent enough to harm a human, it is a good deterrent.  La Selva, Costa Rica.

  • Following a resounding thud, this dazed and disoriented baby mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata struggles to regain his senses and checks for injuries after falling 30 feet out of the canopy. His mother perched nervously in the shadows above, watched for any signs of movement from the tangled mound of fur and limbs that lay on the rock strewn jungle floor near La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica.<br />
<br />
This rarely seen event is not as uncommon as one would expect, and many times the animal does not survive. Most primarily arboreal creatures such as sloths, monkeys, and iguanas live one misstep away from death or injury.<br />
<br />
Happily in this case, after a few minutes, this young howler was able to regain his composure and scurry back to his mother in the treetops, leaping from branch to branch as if nothing had ever happened.
