The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

This is why you shake out hammocks before sitting in them.

The snake slithered right up into it.

And really wound himself in there

He didn’t want to come out.

Eventually he stuck his head out

And lowered himself

Onto the ground

This is a sleeping potoo. They wake up at night.

This is a Jacana

The females are somehow even weirder looking, even though they are not as bright.

This is a vermillion flycatcher.

This is a sunbittern

This is a chachalacka. Boom.

These are southern screamers.

This is a chestnut bellied guan

This is a purplish jay.

The person who named it was obviously straining to see some colour other than grey or brown.

This bird is just black

Some kind of cow bird?

Probably

The howler monkeys looked down on us

Because they were up in the trees.

They are good at looking down

I don’t think they are scared of heights

They seem pretty confident up there.

They are way more timid than the capuchins though.

They are also much lazier

Although they did some hanging around

And investigating for food

Which was pretty active

But when you have a big belly full of leaves

You mostly want to sleep

These are howler monkeys

They howl, which is a really creepy noise.

Of course that guy wasn’t howling he was just yawning.

Unlike the capuchins, they can hang from just their tails.

Which is pretty weird

The males are black

But the females and young boys are blond

They have big floppy ears

And long fingers

That spread out more than mine

They eat mostly leaves and some fruit and flowers

High up in the trees.
