After an epic four day journey across Bolivia dodging the ever-present
bloqueos, we made it to the Pantanal just across the border in Brazil, only to be slightly disappointed due to the weather and our "guide". However we did come away with a few animals for our wildlife count (no jaguar though!)
|
A Capybara, the biggest rodent in the world |
|
One of thousands of Caimans |
|
A hawk |
|
James failing at Piranha fishing (we were later told there "wasn't enough oxygen" for such an activity) |
|
Jabulu stork with a two metre wingspan |
|
A slightly blurry blue Macaw |
|
Puppy attack... |
