Dag 9: Pousa Alegre

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We arrived at the lodge last night. For the next few days, we will be driven around in open cars. A bit like in Africa, but here you can just get out: there are no dangerous animals. It is also nice that the terrain is quite flat; it is not as bad as in South Africa or Tanzania with potholes in the dirt roads. Today we are already seeing many of the special animals of the Pantanal, including tapirs, pigs (White-lipped peccaries), and capybaras. As you can see, we have seen a lot of species!
