Animal Encounters

The other day I was walking to Bunche with Alvaro and his brothers and we saw a 6ft-long snake, curled up and missing a head. It had a black and white pattern and was as thick as my fist in the middle. After everyone argued about how long it was, Alvaro picked it up with a stick and threw it in the bushes.

Each time I walk on the path to the volunteer house, about 3 toads jump away. They are mostly about 2 inches long along their backs but some are as big as 4 inches. Once, when walking to Freddy?s, I saw one that was as least 6 inches long. It sat in the road without moving as I shined my flashlight on it and then walked away.

There are always pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, or horses running around here. Some mornings there is a white crane which flies and lands gracefully near the shrimp ponds, across from the volunteer house. I always try to get a picture but am never close enough.
