MONK SAQI MONKEY

Welcome all wildlife lovers! Here is a sample of the menagerie of creatures and beautiful locations in the jungle of Ecuador. After leaving the jungle, we went on the 36 hour bus ride from hell - I'll post those pictures next week. Have a great week everybody!

This is our bug-catching system in the jungle. They are installed just above your door in your room at the lodge.Living the good life in the jungle. Hammocks are a nice. :)

The infamous STINKY TURKEY. Named as such because it tastes and smells bad. (That's because of the leaves it eats).
This is the flooded forest, located in the Cuyabeno, during the rainy season.

This is our cushy jungle lodge - no A/C, or electricity, but there's running water and mosquito nets!

Say, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.....

There are dangerous creatures, like the caiman, above, or the fer du lance - one of the deadliest snakes on earth, below. Our guide, Hilary and Kerry all stepped right over the snake. Travis found it and asked the guide - "What's this?". Diego then instructed the rest of the group to walk AROUND, as this was a juvenile, and had enough poison to kill 3 of us!
This is the Monk Saqi monkey. He was as interested in us a we were in him! Staring contest!
This is the ferocious piranha that I caught. Check out those teeth!
This is an anole - a lizard that lives in the jungle and laughs at gringos trying to use blow guns!
