Hungry Caimans by Simon Bellingham
An estimated 10 million Yacare Caiman thrive in the Brazilian Pantanal, which makes finding them fairly easy at anytime of the year. At the moment, the annual floods in the Pantanal are in full force and the caiman are jostling for the best fishing positions. These prime spots allow the crocodilians to fish “the lazy way”. This entails placing one’s razor sharp, teeth-filled jaws into a section of fast flowing water and patiently waiting for a fish to be washed in. The caiman's lightning fast reactions does the rest! This antic provides wonderful entertainment and Indri guide, Simon Bellingham, took this photograph of the action at Caiman Ecological Refuge.
Caiman are only one of the many rewarding species that can be seen in this incredibly rich wilderness! For an opportunity to witness regal Jaguars, Giant Anteaters, Capybara, Brazilian Tapir, Ocelot and numerous other animals, birds and additional wildlife, our Neotropical Mammals of the Amazon & Pantanal tour, running from 29 August to 9 September 2013 (US$5,950 per person sharing) still has spaces remaining. Alternatively, we would be delighted to structure your own private safari to this magical destination. For more information, please contact the Indri office directly, or alternatively visit our website for further details.
