Raccoons hang around at the edge of the jungle along the beachs. If you leave any food unattended they will probably get it.
They are unafraid and shameless, hanging around like a dog at the dinner table.

These white faced mondeys also hang around the edge of the jungle ready to grab anything that you leave lying around.

At a bridge going over a wide shallow river along the Pacific Coast somewhere south of Jaco the water was full of crocodiles. The biggest had to have been 20 feet long.
