cute critters

Hello everybody, glad you could make it.

You know a funny thing happend to me on the way over here.. hehe.. 

I was walking home from lunch one day and got surprised by an falling squirrel.!

He just dropped 5 meters and landed with a big thud on the ground 2 meters from me..

Apparently he'd been balancing the tele and electrical wires along the road and got electrified.!

At first I didn't know what big orange thing was attacking me from above.. 

But on Impact I recognized the furry critter, and he was so cute.

Obviously the electric shock didn't just make him loose his grip, but also temporarily paralyzed him from his little squirrel wast and down.

Trying to get out of clearing he spun around on the spot a couple of times before heading towards a distant tree, seemingly dizzy from his shock and with a panic in his little eyes he tried to run, but with only his front paws working it was more like a crawl, dragging his lower body behind him all numb in the dirt and his friend still up on the wires following him intensively I couldn't stop from laughing..! 

The two adventurers met at the same tree, the half paralyzed clinging to the tree branch with a solid grip, his eyes big as of a rabbit, breathing heavy and his little rodent heart beating in 200, probably wondering what the f... just happend..

so cute.. 

You maybe noticed I like animals by now..! and Costa Rica is really rich on them as well.

hence the name.. 

They host everything from monkeys and jaguars to slots and skunks, and under the surface awaits top three of the most sharks per cubic meter of water on the planet.!

They also are rich on birdlife and I've seen humming birds while reading in my hammock and parakeets flying in the sunset. 

But there's one that caught my interest the most, maybe cause it's like the woodpecker on christmas tv..

They're not as coulorful when they are all black, but you see and hear them everywhere.

They can make the most weird noises, and 100's of them too, you'll look up in the sky expecting a pack of 20 different birds, when it's just 2 or 3 of this birds making a cracking out of it.

On another day I had a similar experience like the squirrel, but with these birds..

On Sunset every afternoon they gather up in ONE tree down by the beach, and have a party!!

I think they are trying to mate up, or just meet to fight or something, hundreds of birds flying in and out the tree branches squeaking, whistling and making all the sounds they can at the same time..  

Just think of 3pm Disney hour on TV and Mickey Mouse's christmas tree when pluto drags everybody in chasing chip and dale..  that's how it looks and sounds.. 

One night standing there, 2 birds entangled in each other falls straight to the ground like a bowling ball.. gets loose, shake off and fly straight back up the tree again..

made my day..

First morning a couple of weeks ago I woke up to what I thought was a squealing pig, and it would never stop.. it was like the roosters of pigs grunting to the sunrise.. and it was close too, was it so dark last night I didn't see it was a pig farm I've entered..

I open the door and see no pigs, and it strikes me, I'm in Costa Rica.

Howling Monkeys sitting in the trees just above my room and make a name for themselves..! 

And this morning I saw maybe the smallest cutest dog I've ever seen, not even big as my right hand..

Belonging to a cafe shop owner he stumbled around the patio when I ate breakfast.

And he got a good future as a guarding dog, when he saw me he came running and I put a hand down to pet him, the cute little thing.

But he wasn't up to play, he attacked me with all his fury hehe.

He was battling my hand with all he had, biting, jumping, and making big dogs noises, only making him even more cute, and when I stopped playing with him and got back to my scrambled eggs he went on my foot and flip flop determined to kill my toes with biting and shaking hihi..  cutest ever..!
