Other fauna (besides birds)

We saw a few lizards here and there

Lizard

We only saw two snakes. This one was pretty big, maybe 6–7 feet. It's tentatively identified as some rat snake, Elaphe. The other snake that I saw was either a Brazilian coral snake or one of its mimics, but I wasn't quick enough to photograph it.

In some areas there were lots of termite mounds. In this one, they had opened up their ventilation slits and were busily tending them.
