Creatures of the Yucatan Peninsulae

We encountered lots of different kinds of creatures on our recent trip across the Yucatan Peninsulae. Here are a few of my favorites.

These big bugs were in one of the aeropuertos we passed through on our way to Cancun.

This cute little Iguana scampered off to safety.
The locals got a kick out of me calling it el gatito (kitten).
This lovely winged creature was waiting outside our door on our first morning in Cancun.Crabs @ Tulum.All the dogs we saw were either having a siesta, or standing around doing as little as possible. It was hot so the pooches were not active.We found this lovely little mariposa outside our bungalow in Chichen Itza.Mexican TV was surprisingly strange.
Couldn't resist taking a picture of these creatures on the boob-tube.
Mighty Mo loves Earwigs.
This Earwigish creature was in our hotel room in Uxmal.
This little lizard joined us for breakfast in Valladolid.So did his friend.Here, Rhetro Zenberg demonstrates buoyancy in the Caribean.
It was good to be back to Cancun where the air was slightly cooler, and the water felt most refreshing after our thousand mile trek through the hot jungle.
When we got home to Santa Cruz, we found that we had a new resident...
actually three. A momma dove and her babes.
