So many animals appeared at Ballena Royale yesterday! Zoe the sloth was in her usual guarumo tree. A lone capuchin monkey came through making some strange noise. Two agoutis and lots of pretty birds came to investigate the bananas we had harvested as well as this curious pesoté aka white-nosed coati. Earlier in the morning a Jesus Christ basilisk ran along the pool edge (sometimes they run right across the water). After a lot of rain the sun had peeked out and the animals got very busy. This is why we love this place. The experience of nature is so uplifting, rejuvenating, inspiring and healing. If you are interested in a vacation here, let us know! Karen Tatum Ternes David L.

Do you need to relax? Get totally comfortable and watch this as many times as you need. Breathe deeply and slowly. Watch the hairs on her legs get ruffled by the wind. Imagine you are a sloth with no care in the world. Take a sloth break and then you can face the world again.
I watch butterflies whole I shower.
Don’t be afraid of “Rainy Season”.
It's so hard to capture the blue morpho butterfly on film. Here is slow motion 3 second video
Watch her stop to smack her lips and contemplate life.
I love when she hangs upside down and scratches. This is Zoe today entertaining us - or actually doing her own thing without any regard of us.

She's in a hurry to get to her nap spot. (Actually, I sped it up 6X)
