Tomorrow is our last day in the forest collecting data. We will then come back and debrief the information we collected and ask questions of the scientists. On Saturday, our time in the jungle comes to an end. I have really enjoyed being here and learning about this amazing place, but I am ready to return home (my pillow seems to make a better sponge!) Before I head home, though, I will be spending one night in Old San Juan to get the feel for city life here in Puerto Rico. Then, I will be on a flight back to Boston on Sunday.
I just figured out how to add some of my video clips to this blog...they are located on the right. They are linked from youtube.com, but there is no need to go the site. They will play directly in the blog. Don't worry if you can't play them, I will show them to you when I get back next week.
The first video is of a n anolis lizard hanging out on a palm tree. The lizard doesn't do much, but you can get an idea of how still they are. With luck, more to come, enjoy!

That lizard is so cool and cute! Was it doing anything like looking for prey when it was just standing still, or was it just resting and donig nothing?
Those are very cool coqui videos on google!!! I'll like how they buff up there skin. That sensitive plant was awesome too. Does it use it for protection?

Hi Jessica,
I think the lizard could have been doing many things. For one, it was making sure I stayed my distance. Whenever I got too close to one, they would dart off at lightning speeds. Alos, it was probably looking for food. I saw lizards eating ants off the tree trunks!
Hi Jesse,
I'm glad you found the videos. I am going to try to upload them all to the blog. The sensitive plant is a bit of mystery... meaning I'm not sure exactly why it is sensitive, but I have some ideas. Why do you think it closes up?
