The Gatun Lake, Panama

The 166 square miles, fresh water, Gatun Lake connects the western and eastern locks of the Panama Canal, allowing ships to navigate between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.  Here are a few of the animals seen on a small boat trip around the islands – yellow-headed caracara, wattled jacana, northern mockingbird, green iguana, greater ani, great kiskadee, great egret, small bats, and a two-toed sloth.
