Photography
Photos of Costa Rica wildlife include frogs and snakes that I found in my trips to the Costa Rica rainforests. A CD with more than 100 Photos of the Costarican Wildlife will be available for sale soon.
Frogs
Costa Rica is home to around 175 amphibians, which include frogs. Frogs in Costa Rica have interesting ways of finding fishless water to raise their young in. Fish, of course, will eat tadpoles and eggs. Poison Dart Frogs put their eggs in water pools in bromeliads. Other methods include searching ponds before laying eggs, and laying eggs in wet soil.

In Costa Rica, snakes make up almost half of all the reptile species in the country. There are 135 species of snakes, and only 17 are known to be venomous in Costa Rica. These 17 species of venomous snakes are the only ones that are known to be clinically important throughout the Costa Rica region.
