This entry will be light on text and heavy on pictures just to show you some of the critters I saw last year when I was in Brazil- and I won't bore you with my writing.
Domestic animals (horses and cattle) in the várzea
Caiman catching (for research of course)
Turtles and and a Turtle Nursery
And Many, Many More...!
Also, there are a ton of interesting fish species in the Amazon (many are tasty!):
Many Fish!
And last but not least, the reason why I'm in Brazil, the arapaima!
