Near Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

john, this must have been your disneyland. the whole trip maybe. The more you show the more determined I am to go. I am trying for this fall. Hey, is your yahoo email the same.

Hi Joel,
Manati Park is on the East End, logistially hard to get to if you visit the main cyclura areas -- on the West end of the DR. The pics from Manati Park were taken from a trip last April while taking a caribbean vacation at a resort in Punta Cana --not a herping trip like last November. If you are considering seeing both species of cyclura the areas to the west are best. I believe Jan Ramer of the Indy Zoo will be doing some more Ricordi survey work there next November. They would probably like some volunteers. Her report on vitamin D status of wild and captive ricordi and rhino iguanas is soon to be published in the Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine.

thanks john. Jan's trip is the one I am trying to get on. Its still being planned and organized last I heard. Fingers are crossed

I believe that trip is back to lago Enriquio -- should be good ! I am heading back to work - Enjoy therest of spring. I will look forward to reading your posts from the middle east in about 30 days.
