We left the Osa Peninsula yesterday and have been driving up the coast to Santa Rosa National Park, which is where we will be camping for the next week. On the bus ride today we stopped at a bridge that crosses the Tarcoles River. For some reason, there is a huge group of massive crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) that congregates underneath this bridge, so we walked across and got to look at them. They were so big! We were very high up, but they were still very impressive. The big ones were only around 10-12 feet long, but incredibly wide! (I say “only" 10-12 feet because some other species can grow over 20 feet…Imagine that!) Someday I’ll be good enough to catch one of these giants, but for now I’ll stick to the little guys ;)
The tiny ones at the top are about
the same size as the one I caught :)
This guy was MASSIVE!
So many big crocs...I counted 37
just right around the bridge!
Thank you, thank you for not wrestling one of these! Don't be crazy...seriously. I mean it :)
