It was immobile w/ only a few cm of tail and hindbody exposed when Nancy Gieg saw it, and the only response to handling was periodic thrashing alternating w/ rigidity of part of the body. Also along the boardwalk heard branches cracking overhead, and got a good view of a Bassaricyon semicochaste - gray coat, tail not thickly wooly and held well off the limb, and rapid jumping locomotion. On foliage in the Arboretum, saw Agalychnis saltator (2m high, on palm leaf), Eleutherod. fitzingeri (1m, on leaf), and E. diastema (calling from under a vine leaf on a tree trunk).
