Peacocks, Playa del Carmen, Mexico
On the grounds of the Iberostar Paraiso Maya I came across these magnificent peacocks. I don't know what the other birds were. They looked like guinea hens on steroids. A long tailed racoon had just stolen some of the food that staff had put out for their lunch. I was here with the TLABC having just enjoyed immensely a highly informative but equally entertaining mock trial. The birds would likely be the plaintiffs and the racoon would be the defendant the peacocks could get their case to trial.
The "raccoon" looking animal is a Coati Mundi. Very Common in the Yucatan.
