Pictures (on sites) of Amazonian exotica

These are pictures (on sites) to some of the things we saw in the Amazon basin. We had no real chance to see the really exotic staff such as the tapirs, giant armadillos and jaguars. You generally have to stay silent in a hide for hours on end. Our photos will have to wait till we get back …. then they will be uploaded to Picassa.
