Description
More rails and crawdads plus a supporting cast from some of my other related sets. Included in this image is the Mangrove Rail, the Dwarf Orange Crayfish, the Bare-throated Tiger Heron, the Mangrove Cuckoo, the Mangrove Darner (Damselfly) and the American Bullfrog.
Mangrove Rails have a discontinuous distribution. There is population, only recently discovered, on the Pacific coast of Central America (El Salvador to northwestern Costa Rica); another population occurs on the Pacific coast of South America, from southern Colombia to extreme northwestern Peru; and it occurs along the Atlantic Coast of South America, from northeastern Colombia to eastern Brazil, south to Santa Catarina. They feed on mollusks, leeches, crustaceans (including crayfish and many crabs), aquatic insects (especially dytiscid beetles), grasshoppers, spiders, small fish, frogs and tadpoles, and mice; also seeds, berries, green plant material and tubers of woody plants.
The Dwarf Orange Crayfish is endemic to the Michoacán region in Mexico and often kept in aquariums. It measures 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 inches) in total length, including claws. Most specimens found in the wild are brown, sometimes with a gray or blue tint. The "Orange" (Mexican dwarf crayfish, sometimes Mexican dwarf orange crayfish) is an orange-colored mutation often held in aquariums, but this form is rarely found in the wild.
