There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
We came across a dead caiman and Julio took a closer look. I think he wanted to check whether it had died of natural causes, it transpired that a Jaguar was the culprit- there were twio holes in the skull where the Jaguar had bitten down into the Caiman's brain, killing it. It had also eaten the stomach area but left the limbs intact.
We found a nice sandbar and sat in the river together to cool off while we ate our sandwiches. As we bathed we had an odd sensation on our skin as fish nibbled at us, picking of any dead skin. Sharing the water with us was also a caiman further along the sandbar. I tried to sneak up on it with my underwater camera but it wasn’t having any of it. Southern Caracara and Black Vultures waited hopefully for any scraps, but they were sorely disappointed.
