 Nikon D7100, Lens 24/70

f/5 @ 1/400 sec ISO-320 HH.

Taken on a recent trip to Costa Rica, the young are green as they age the colour ranges from gray, brown to grayish black. The male during breeding is this wonderful orange making it an interesting subject to photograph. I thought it was right out of Jurassic Park  :)

Thank you for viewing.
