Our Wildlife in Nicaragua
Rancho Cecilia was built with as minimal disruption to the
environment as possible.
Therefore we have the pleasure of enjoying our closest
neighbors, the woodland creatures that still call Rancho
Cecilia home! All our photos on our web site have been
taken right here! Here are some of our neighbors that you
may meet while visiting us!
The Howler Monkeys! We have a small
family of howler monkeys, a young male
and two females and this year we have a
new baby! They travel along the trees
and down by the creek. You can hear
them most often, in the early morning
talking with another troop of monkeys
that live behind our property!
Birds! Any birders out there that
want to visit and help us identify
our birds? We have many
different type of birds that live
with us!
Any herpetologists out there?
This creek turtle is some type of
snapper! Liz found that out the
hard way, while trying to get his
best side for the photo!
Frogs and Toads,
we have many different types
here at Rancho Cecilia. They
like to hang around the dogs'
water bowls in the dry season!
This Tortuga was lost one
morning at Playa
Maderas. She came
ashore a bit too far north,
as they usually lay eggs at
La Flor turtle preserve.
Entomologists, we
have alot of cool
insects too! This
preying mantis was
laying her eggs right
on the patio table at
the Casita! And this
grasshopper was on
our surfboard bag on
morning!
