Fig. 50. A in Herpetofauna Of The Yutajé -Corocoro Massif, Venezuela: Second Report From The Robert G. Goelet American Museum-Terramar Expedition To The Northwestern Tepuis

Fig. 50. A ridge corridor between the northern base of Cerro Yaví and the northeastern base of Cerro Yutaje´. Viewed from a helicopter, looking northeastward. The ridge crests were very roughly estimated from the air as ranging from perhaps 600 m to more than 1000 m above sea level (highest elevations of Cerro Yaví and the Yutaje´–Corocoro massif>2100 m). Although the ridges between these neighboring tepuis are heavily forested, there is no continuity with higher elevation forest—at least on Cerro Yutaje´, where rocky cliffs and scrubland intervene.
