amazondk Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Howler monkey Angela, The howler monkey in the picture appears to be black. Is that right? The ones we have around here are a reddish color. In southern Brazil they have the black ones. Were they roaring when you were around them. They make one mean sound. They also have the habit of throwing feces down at people below them. There certainly were a lot of animals and insects around for you to see. More than I normally see in the forest around here. dk Don Kittelson LIFE ON THE RIO NEGRO 03° 06' 07'' South 60° 01' 30'' West Altitude 92 Meters / 308 feet above sea level 1,500 kms / 932 miles to the mouth of the Amazon River Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil - A Cidade da Floresta Where the world´s largest Tropical Rainforest embraces the Greatest Rivers in the World. .

jdapalms Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 This is the place where I lost Cindy, she really like the butterfly exhibit. The pretty blue butterfly comes from this thing.

RainForestt Robert Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 These photos were taken at InBioparque False coral snake, non poisonous Sloth Another snake. I love the green color. This snake should be able to camouflage itself pretty easily. RainForestt Robert Trinidad! Southernmost island in the Caribbean. So many plants, So little space.

More bugs on the trail. Don't fall off of the bridge. Jerry, I always stay away from caterpillars around here. The ones with spines can be real bad news. The more colorful the more they sting if touched. Since I don't really know which ones are the painful ones I just leave them all alone. dk Don Kittelson LIFE ON THE RIO NEGRO 03° 06' 07'' South 60° 01' 30'' West Altitude 92 Meters / 308 feet above sea level 1,500 kms / 932 miles to the mouth of the Amazon River Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil - A Cidade da Floresta Where the world´s largest Tropical Rainforest embraces the Greatest Rivers in the World. .

Alan_Tampa Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Northern Tamandua, Tamandua mexicana reference says it spends a good amount of time in the trees, eating ants I suppose. I had a buddy with a few of these a few years ago (actually I think it was the southern one). Believe it or not, Purina makes a specialty food for these guys.

amazondk Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Nice to see the ant eaters in trees. Most of the ones I see are road kill. That is surely a forest with a lot of easily seen animals. In general is it not easy to see animals in the forest, at least around here. They might be right next to you, but you would never know it. Great pictures. dk Don Kittelson LIFE ON THE RIO NEGRO 03° 06' 07'' South 60° 01' 30'' West Altitude 92 Meters / 308 feet above sea level 1,500 kms / 932 miles to the mouth of the Amazon River Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil - A Cidade da Floresta Where the world´s largest Tropical Rainforest embraces the Greatest Rivers in the World. .

bgl Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Great shots of the anteater! Unfortunately I missed it. Where was that? Leilani Estates, 25 mls/40 km south of Hilo, Big Island of Hawai'i.

Kim Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 The anteater was near the entrance to the aerial tramway. We were joking that he was chained to the tree, because it seemed like everyone saw him, when you would normally think it was a rare sight. So the legendary bus #4 did not see the anteater? I can only speculate as to why that occurred...

RainForestt Robert Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I am pretty sure that anteater was along the trail in B. Carillo National Park. There is something to be said for being a straggler, you never know what you can find. RainForestt Robert Trinidad! Southernmost island in the Caribbean. So many plants, So little space.

putu enjula Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yes you are right Bob, fellow straggler... It was at Braulio Carillo. I think it was Jerry @ the Tree Zoo who spotted it (sorry if I got it wrong) otherwise I would have never seen it. ********Angela********** Check out Palmpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
