This guy would just not leave my shoes alone. We hiked up and down the jungle ridges, and he wove in and out between my legs, and kept trying to chomp on my shoes every time I paused. He did demonstrate the fabled goat agility when crossing a river, bouncing from rock to rock and sprinting up the hillside, and then standing on top of the hill and baaing at us in triumph.
Like I say on my Flickr page – yeah, my socks are over my jeans. The ticks in Costa Rica could suck an oil tanker dry.

This guy’s name is Rafa. He’s smiling in his sleep at the Rescue Shelter Las Pumas, where he’s safe from the hunters and the men who captured him from his mother because he had a thorn in his paw and couldn’t run fast enough to escape. Like so many of the other big cats, his life is a tale of tragedy.
I wish he could be set free to roam and hunt for himself, but since he’s been around humans since he was a kit, he can’t survive out on his own. Still, I’d like to see him in a bigger enclosure, where he can run around and play and bite stuff without having busloads of little obnoxious kids taunting him through the bars of his cage.
