A man named Juan Salas showed us one of his pets--a red huacari monkey.
|
 |
Juan's daughter, Tattiana (ten years old), became Robin's best friend in the area.
Tattiana loves to fish.
|
 |
So does Robin! Here she's caught a piranha--yep, the kind that bite.
But guess who got bitten? Robin ate the fish for dinner!
|
 |
Every day we headed off with our guide, Walter Soplín, who showed us different
places in the forest.
|
 |
The Amazonian rain forest is so lush and dense that it often looks like an impenetrable wall of
vegetation.
|
 |
The forest is full of animals, such as this river cayman that a guide named Rudy is showing us.
|
 |
The most abundant species are insects, which show up almost everywhere. . .
|
 |
. . . in a bizarre variety of forms. (This one is a stick insect.)
