Brooks (Burnside) arrived here at Banana Bank yesterday safe and sound and raring to go-- and quickly left her mark at the zoo (see photo). After lunch we headed into the canopy for ziplining from platform to platform. Everybody did it and had a wonderful time. The 40 ft rappel/drop at the end got everyone's heart pumping a little faster. We hit the zoo on the way back to "camp". Everyone took many photos of unusual animals: jabouti, jibiru stork, peccaries, tapirs, pacas, baramundi, harpy eagles, and toucans, to name a few.
Later that night after dinner, we headed out into the jungle for an hour walk. Many of the students were amazed at the number of animals still active at night, particularly leafcutter ants, which we saw thousands of. Casey cleverly discovered what we now term a "tiger trap."
After breakfast this morning Group I headed across the river towards Caves Branch. Group III is expected here around lunchtime after they visit the zoo.
