Tayra

My first time seeing one of these!!! This is a Tayra (Eira barbara) an omnivorous animal from the weasel family photographed on my last trip to Costa Rica. I spotted a tail disappearing through the brush and asked my friend Dave Jr. at Dave & Dave's Costa Rica Nature Park what it could have been. I was thrilled when he told me it was a Tayra and I was determined to wait as long as I had to for the opportunity to see and photograph her. A few hours later she made another quick appearance leaving me just enough time for a couple of photos.
