Henne, H.
1987
11 july same place as before ("3") and still alive -
it moved the head slightly when I moved
a nearby leaf w/ a snake hooole. Dave Hardy
at first thought it dead, for good reason -
the mouth slightly ajar, seemingly w/a little
dirt in it. at approx 2030h found the lachesis muta
at CES S30 out "hunting" approx 30-50cm to the
side of its tree, a new position:
< old fallen limb
1 = resting spot
(Danaba)
2 = "usual" hunting
spot
3: new site
It's head was aimed at an angle to the
rotten limb (3, arrow).
12 july Left at 0800 and walked the CCC, out CC,
across the CS and back in on SHO & SOC.
The lachesis muta at CCC 700 is in the same
place but it's head now is easily visible &
foeing out. When I got fairly close for a photo
it flinched. Saw cat tracks, possibly
Felis pardalis, on the eastern edge of
the Sendero El Swampo in two places
several tens of meters apart and hardly
west - none on the Holdridge, although there
were several muddy places where we might
have picked them up. Found the Bothrops
asper at Holdridge 225 at the same place
but a few cm further into the vegetation
