Saimiri sciureus macrodon A squirrel monkey makes use of a natural bridge and a means to cross a small creek. When the monkey reaches the end of the branch, it will simply launch itself as far as it can and break it's fall by grabbing whatever branches it can on the way down. Amazing little dare-devils! Napo River, Ecuador
Tigrisoma lineatum The Tiger Heron is an attractive wading bird that can be found foraging near the water's edge of quiet streams and oxbow lakes in the Amazon Basin. Napo River, Ecuador
Ophisthocomus hoazin Talk about a bizzare and unusual bird. The Hoatzin is large, heavy, and a poor flier. They might remind one of a swamp-dwelling turkey with a crazy mohawk. In fact, they are quite putrid smelling, earning them the nickname "Stinky Turkey" by the local people of this region. Napo River, Ecuador
