Did I get you? Hehe hoaxed! Sorry if it upset anyone, but I couldn’t resist.
So here’s the actual photos from my 3 day ‘safari’ into the Northern Pantanal…
Welcome to Jurassic Park (cue movie theme tune as my new earworm)
First of MANY caimans we saw, they’re everywhere, but avoid people so are pretty harmless
A friendly coati
Viewing tower on a high tree for sunset…
…Pantanal panorama
Back again for sunrise
Karo and Felix
Paddling canoes through the flooded wetlands
And another different form of transport
Attempted to play footy with a capivara
Another caiman
What’s the collective noun for emus?
Saw lots of beautiful birds (but this was the only photo of them that I took!)
It may please you to know that I saw no anacondas and the baby jaguar we spotted turned out to probably have been an ocelot, still great to see in the wild though! Whilst it’s a huge wetlands, at this time of year it’s very flooded and so most animals venture deeper into the forest to find dry land, hence there wasn’t loads of rare wildlife for us to see, but it was special to be in such a natural environment.
