Belize is a top tourist destination best known for its marine life and locations like the Blue Hole, but its terrestrial biodiversity is equally impressive. Here are some pictures I took while I was leading a National Geographic Student Expedition. This expedition focused more on marine biodiversity but I managed to sneak in some time for some photography on the mainland.

Red-eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas)

Wolf Spider

Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura similis)

Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius)
