Frog Watching Arenal Oasis
Things to do in Arenal Costa Rica
The LIZARDS of COSTA RICA ft. iguanas, anoles, geckos and basilisks!!!
It's time to come clean - I'm a total reptile junkie!
I have always had a crazy passion for reptiles, having kept many species in my teens, studied them for my PhD and been fortunate enough to travel the world to see them in the wild. In fact, I fell in love with reptiles long before I ever saw my first captive tarantula.
Costa Rica has some seriously beautiful lizards, some of which are mainstays of the captive reptile hobby, including the green iguana (Iguana iguana) and the green basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons). Personally, I have a soft spot for all the little anoles (Norops spp.) because they were what first drew me to Costa Rica and I find their behaviour and diversity fascinating.
Every single one of these photos/video clips is of WILD LIZARDS that I saw in person in Tortuguero National Park, the Hanging Bridges in La Fortuna, or Manuel Antonio National Park (apart from the first green iguana, who I suspect is a bit of a pet) between 22 Feb and 8 Mar 2018.
I hope you all enjoy this video. If you do, please like, share and subscribe.

Ranario - Tortuguero, Costa Rica
David's Been Here is in Costa Rica's Tortuguero National Park, touring all the stunning sites inside the reserve. Here David presents a video to the park's Ranario, or frog farm. Three different types of frogs inhabit this frog farm, one of which (the red one) is the most poisonous frog in the world. Walk through this stunning site and experience the beautiful yet miniscule frogs that are raised inside the covered area. For more information on the frog farm or how to visit for yourself, check out the David's Been Here Guide to Tortuguero, now available for your Kindle as well.

Arenal Natura Ecological Park Arenal Volcano
Arenal Natura is a beautiful ecological park that was established in 2004 due to the inspiration of one Costa Rican family. Mr. Ronald Ferreto, his wife Patricia, and their children, Steven and Cheryl, have always been enthusiastic about nature and truly aware of the unique aspects of their home country's flora and fauna. The history that precedes the decision to create the ecological park was a passionate love for nature and a desire to preserve the country's unique natural heritage. Mr. Ferreto invested all of the family's assets to make their dreams come true. They acquired land in a beautiful area near the Arenal volcano. The place had been devoted for many years to cattle raising and agriculture. Ferreto's family put in a lot of effort to revive the area by reforesting and restoring the land. Their hard work and enthusiasm have led to the transformation of the land into a wonderful tropical paradise where visitors can find a large number of ecosystems and countless species that have adopted this place as their home.
Mr. Ferreto, a nature lover, and his family desired to start this exciting project to help preserve the biodiversity of Costa Rica. They have decided to leave a legacy through the education of the population, especially through work with the younger generations which will become the most influential in reversing the ecological damage that the planet is suffering from, and positively overcoming the many challenges of this century. The park actively supports the conservation of threatened species and their natural ecosystems. It also serves as a means to support the growth of scientific knowledge that can benefit conservation, which in turn will help to promote public policy awareness and the need for conservation, to sustain natural resources, and to establish a new equilibrium between humans and nature.
In this natural habitat visitors can admire species from the smallest leaf-cutter ants, to red eye frogs showing off their beautiful colors, snakes hiding in the woods, to huge crocodiles showing their fearsome teeth to communicate through a universal language that asks everyone to respect each living things own territory.
Here is where many local and foreign visitors can both respect and enjoy nature for the first time. The Ferreto Madrigal family invites you to discover a wonderful natural experience in Arenal Natura Ecological Park.

Meet The Blood Rainfrog (Pristimantis erythros)
Our team is in southern Ecuador searching for rainfrogs (genus Pristimantis). Last night, in the company of Juan Carlos Sánchez, we found the newly described Blood Rainfrog (Pristimantis erythros). This is an Endangered frog that inhabits the Cajas Massif and lives between paramos dominated by grassland and shrubs.
You too can help find missing or extinct species of amphibians and reptiles; or discover new ones. Find out how to get involved in our upcoming scientific expeditions:

The Great Gildersleeve: Leroy Suspended from School / Leila Returns Home / Marjorie the Ballerina
The Great Gildersleeve (1941--1957), initially written by Leonard Lewis Levinson, was one of broadcast history's earliest spin-off programs. Built around Throckmorton Philharmonic Gildersleeve, a character who had been a staple on the classic radio situation comedy Fibber McGee and Molly, first introduced on Oct. 3, 1939, ep. #216. The Great Gildersleeve enjoyed its greatest success in the 1940s. Actor Harold Peary played the character during its transition from the parent show into the spin-off and later in a quartet of feature films released at the height of the show's popularity.
On Fibber McGee and Molly, Peary's Gildersleeve was a pompous windbag who became a consistent McGee nemesis. You're a haa-aa-aa-aard man, McGee! became a Gildersleeve catchphrase. The character was given several conflicting first names on Fibber McGee and Molly, and on one episode his middle name was revealed as Philharmonic. Gildy admits as much at the end of Gildersleeve's Diary on the Fibber McGee and Molly series (Oct. 22, 1940).
He soon became so popular that Kraft Foods—looking primarily to promote its Parkay margarine spread — sponsored a new series with Peary's Gildersleeve as the central, slightly softened and slightly befuddled focus of a lively new family.
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.
