The locals call this thing a "chicken iguana" since it looks like it has feathers and it runs on its back legs...really strange to see this running by!

We saw this and the pictures below at the beach next to our hotel - Manuel Antonio National Park.

Probably one of the most beautiful places in the world...lots of monkeys, iguanas, sloths and a few things we don't want to know about!

Luke has become quite the iguana hunter...hard to see it but it's a couple of feet in front of him.  A couple of minutes later Luke was pulling it out of the bushes - but he let it go after quite a loud "hiss" made him think twice about keeping his latest conquest!
