There is lots of wildlife in the Amazon

This is a Puma. One of the wild large cats that can be found around the Amazon basin. The other is the Jaguar. This one is a captive animal at the zoo.

While doing a ringing session we caught this cool Olivaceous flatbill. Pretty cool with his little punk hairdo.

Also during our ringing session, Rachael abstracted this cracking bird from the mist net. Bluish fronted jacamar.

At the Zoo we also saw what I think is a black caimen at about 4m.

At the Clay lick we saw about 6 white lipped peccarys. Great animals but must be given respect as they can be a bit nasty if you catch them in the wrong mood.

In the Amazon one creature you have to see is a poison frog. You don´t really want to be kissing one of these. Hunters used to rub their blow darts on the back of these and it kills the prey much much faster than normal.
