Night at El Dorado EcoLodge and Reserve, Colombia

At night they fed the monkeys just after dinner and shortly after had a night walk just down the road to a small creek. They tried to call in owls with no luck but we did see glass frogs, endemic frogs, endemic tarantulas and a climbing salamander very very deep in a bromeliad. If only we had a bit more rain there might have been even more out.

I believe the many anoles sleeping on leaves were only one species of Anolis sp. but I am not sure what it is yet. I do suspect it is a Solitare Anole (Anolis solitarius).

Scinax ruber
Ikakogi tayrona are small bright green glass frogs and sadly I didn't get to see more than one of them.

I only got to see one Bolitoglossa savegei, a species of climbing salamander and it was very very stuck in the nooks of a bromeliad.
Spider scorpions

Kankuamo marquezi is the only species within the Genus and is endemic to the Santa Marta Mountain Range area but it was incredibly abundant around the ecolodge.
