Sailfin Catfishes (Genus Pterygoplichthys)Observer
ungerlordDescription
A large number of sailfin catfish were trapped in a shallow pool during the dry season. A family of otter seem to treat this as their personal supermarket. I watched a family of 7-10 otters massacre at least 20 catfish. The whole area stunk of rotting fish and there were carcasses everywhere.

Cuban Tree Frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis)Observer
billprantyDescription
With Valeri Ponzo. We left at 1445, when the weather was sunny and 92 degrees ("feels like" 105), with calm winds.
Val heard the frog squeal, then we saw it in the jaws of a Black Racer. It took maybe 10 minutes for the snake to completely swallow the frog, which puffed up. Once the snake "popped" the frog -- no, we did not hear a "pop" -- then it went down much faster. Still, a very sloppy, slimy mess.

Swallowing a Cuban Treefrog. Val heard the frog squeal, then we watched it puff up to avoid being swallowed. Eventually, the snake deflated it, and it went down much faster.
A very slimy and gooey mess.

This oriole was eating a spotted lanternfly! I think it ate more than one of them. It held it between it's feet and whacked it with it's beak like it was a peanut. Then it rubbed it on a branch, and then swallowed it. It seemed to go back to the willow tree where the lanternflies gather.
