Brazil 2013 (Pantanal)

Hi,

I think the next morning was probably one of the "hardest" of the whole tour. At 6:00 am it should go by boat with local guides. 5:00 am normaly stand up and breakfast. We stood up an hour earlier, 4:00 am.

Many animals are active at night - because they have to take advantage of the darkness. Around noon is due to the heat. Anyway nothing going on, even in the animals - so time to sleep.
So a few pictures before the official "trip":

So get into the car. And looking to the spotlight ...

... but there was something

... two eyes

a Tapirus terrestris

Ramphastos toco

... because one wonders soon, where the beak with the bird wants to go

Hi,
