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
