How dry is it?

When I use fruit to bait the iguana traps, I may instead catch a capuchin monkey or a coati. This year the rains are very late, the soil is crunchy, and the leaves are wilted on the trees. 

Here is a begging capuchin who followed me on hopes of food. While they do raid traps, this is not typical in the station.

And here is a male coati who also raided one of the traps:

I won't bore you with the raccoon;  or that this post was delayed as I needed to release another monkey from another trap. When a troop is around, trapping stops. 

Below is a yearling iguana ignoring small trap while WWW goes for the big trap -- she was rebeaded and I took a blood sample for the molecular part of my dissertation:
