Tarcoles Bridge, Costa Rica

En route from the Monte Verde Cloud Forest to the beach at Manuel Antonio we stopped at the Tarcoles Bridge.  Here there are a large number of American Crocodiles who hang out under the bridge waiting to be fed.  Normally male crocodiles have territories, but in this case they have been fed here for years and the normal rules of nature have taken second place.  Of course if tourists stop to see the crocodiles, they must also eat, drink and shop.
