Crocodile!
On the one side here you see me tickling the fin of Keiko, of Free Willy fame. He was, you may recall, kept in a tiny pool in Mexico for years and years. His handler there at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, who had once worked with us, had allowed us up above the viewing window--up where the public was not allowed in order to interact with him. I remember Keiko as very weak at that point. He was being rehabilitated in preparation for going back to the ocean. He did well for a period of time at sea and at long last got his taste of freedom. Later, sadly, he died of pneumonia. It was very special to be able to connect with him. He did love a good rub. On the other side you see a large crocodile I photographed up on the river near the ocean town of Tortuguero. There are some big and dangerous crocs in Costa Rica. One just recently killed a fisherman near where I used to live. The locals usually know to stay away from certain rivers where they hang out, It's strange to think of such danger lurking so near where tourists are engaging in carefree recreational activities.
