Done Yaniv! Thank you for the suggestion!
Great spotting! It would be great if you added it to the "Reptiles of Costa Rica" mission:

Yes they do, there is a well established love-respect relationship among the local people and the crocodiles, best depicted in the Chito-Pocho show :) :) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjqwORXra...
This must be one of the top large crocodile viewing locations in the world. I was lucky to get to CR in 1999 and saw 7 or 8 of these lovely monsters from this bridge. I'm glad to see that big crocs are still there :-)
