I blame you



This cotton-top tamarin was eating a fresh mango when we noticed it in the trees above us. We were watching it when it suddenly dropped the fruit. It then focused on us and seemed angry, as if we were to blame for its lost delicious mango. Animals are also very good at the blame game!



This tamarin species is endangered and survives only in a small area of Colombia, as most of its ecosystem has been destroyed. We saw it in Tayrona National Park.

Giant anteater



This giant anteater was roaming the plains of El Encanto del Guanapalo, Colombia. It uses its claws to dig open ant and termite colonies and its thin, long, sticky tongue to catch them inside their nests. We had to get up before sunrise to see it but were able to get quite close without disturbing it. It is larger than I anticipated, probably 2 meters long when including the tail.

Vermilion cardinal



On April 28, we visited La Guajira in northern Colombia, where we met this punky vermilion cardinal east of Camarones. It lives only on this peninsula and a few coastal areas in Venezuela. While the females have brown and beige plumage, the males are striking red.

El presidente de Colombia denunció que el fallo que devolvió la libertad al expresidente Uribe otorga impunidad a "los políticos que llegaron al poder aliados con el narcotráfico y que desataron el genocidio en Colombia".

Southern Emerald-Toucanet


We were hiking along a trail in the El Dorado Nature Reserve when I noticed the weird shape of a tree trunk from the corner of my eye. Since I had learned to point my camera at everything weird, this toucanet looking out of a tree cavity greeted me through the viewfinder.
