Colorchallenge: Green Thursday Costa Rica Jungle adventure

in #colorchallenge7 years ago

Here's a picture of a crocodile with beautiful green eyes! He/she was about 6 feet long, actually a fairly small one.
The 2nd picture is of a sloth, climbing high in the trees. Sloths have a symbiotic relationship with a specific form of algae. This form of algae isn't found in any other environment, and it's said to occur on all species of sloth. The algae gives the sloth its greenish color, and also provides benefits to the animal in the form of camouflage and additional nutrients.
Thanks for looking and voting! Have an awesome day.
Photos taken July 11, 2017 on the Sierpe River, Osa Canton, Costa Rica.
