Yesterday was a great day!!! Back on February 22nd, David put up two of his wildlife motion capture cameras at the river when he hiked out with Don Nato. Using a tree that had fallen very conveniently, they had crossed the river to explore its opposite shore. In one spot David saw both tapir and jaguar tracks. He decided to put his cameras up around there. Yesterday he went back for the second time to see if there were any images to download. There were. The first time he had checked there were some pictures of pacas (also called agouti) and some yellow-knobbed curacao. ( Due to internet congestion, I haven't as yet been able to upload those photos.) Yesterday's images also included birds and pacas... but the last three images were the ones below. As David said: " It takes intelligence to find these elegant and majestic beasts, but its mostly just luck."
Wow- we just read your blog and we're having fun reading your stories. We want to play mud soccer too! Noah says to say "I love you, Giancarlo." Eli says "I like all of the pictures." -THE ROCKS (Noah and Eli and Laura)
