Vine snake (Xenoxybelis argenteus) - Madre de Dios Department, Peru
A fairly straightforward shot of a small vine snake I came across on a nighthike through the jungle. These snakes are active during the day but can be easier to find at night when they are sleeping on low vegetation. I silently approached this one, took a few photos, and left it to sleep peacefully.

El Pepino tree frog (Hyloscirtus torrenticola) - Amazonian foothills, Ecuador
Hyloscirtus has to be one of my favorite tree frog genera. Colloquially known as torrenteers or sometimes babbling torrenteers, these tree frogs are associated with high quality running water in jungle settings. They have a beautiful call but also a pesky habit of calling from underneath rocks or from within crevices, so while its often relatively easy to hear them it can be insanely annoying and fruitless trying to track one down. For this reason im always happy when I see a new species in the genus. This is a relatively small species that is found across a narrow elevational gradient in on the East slope of the Andes in the Amazonian foothills of Northern Ecuador and Southern Colombia. This was the only adult I saw, and a few fresh metamorphs that had just barely left the water and still had their tail, although hard to tell at that stage I presume they belong to this species as well. This individual had his back foot gnawed off by a predator at some point but it has since healed over and the frog seems to be doing just fine without the back foot.
Rhinella dapsilis - Amazonian foothills, Ecuador
Amphibians often shed their skin, but why let a good resource go to waste? This toad demonstrates a solution as it simultaneously sheds its skin and consumes it. This helps it regain nutrients it would have otherwise lost.
Ants & termite - Amazonian foothills, Ecuador
Some sort of unidentified ants with an unidentified dead or dying termite.
Katydid - Finca Las Piedras, Madre de Dios, Peru
Katydids are some of the most amazing mimics, about a dozen photos ago I posted one that was almost perfectly mimicking a green leaf and here is one that is doing an impressive job of looking like a dead leaf. When in the jungle, every detail warrants a second look. There may very well be something concealed in plain site.
Liana is any of various usually woody vines that may climb as high as the tree canopy in a tropical forest.
Here in the Amazon jungle you can see many of them forming incredible sculptures of all sizes and shapes. Absolutely beautiful and what makes the way for the movements of many animals and birds. Some of them start so thin and go thicker with the years resembling an old tree. This liana portrayed here is probably more than 100 years old. Observe its unique shape.

هنا في غابة الأمازون ، يمكنك رؤية العديد منهم وهم يشكلون منحوتات لا تصدق من جميع الأحجام والأشكال. جميل للغاية وما يمهد الطريق لتحركات العديد من الحيوانات والطيور. يبدأ البعض منهم نحيفًا جدًا ويزداد سمكًا مع مرور السنين تشبه شجرة قديمة. ربما يكون عمر هذه ليانا المصورة هنا أكثر من 100 عام. لاحظ شكله الفريد.
Braga was my guide through the Mamiraua reserve in the Amazon jungle. This guy was incredible at hearing and spotting the rare monkeys I was looking for (white Uacari monkeys). He has lived in the area since 12 years of age and currently is a guide for the Uacari lodge in the reserve.

Isn't this the cutest face you have ever seen? It was an awesome experience to get to view some of the #animals found in the #AmazonJungle, like this baby #leapord. Have you seen or interacted with a leapord before? There are many #TreasuresOfTraveling to explore in #Iquitos and the surrounding #Peruvian #Rainforest so make sure to add this area of #Peru to your list of places to visit! treasuresoftraveling.com/jungle-expedition-in-the-amazon-...
It was late afternoon in the middle of the rainy season on the amazon and the boat had settled on the rising waters of an unnamed lake where the Boto (pink dolphins) swim. The clouds were building. A storm was brewing and at that moment the lake was quiet except for the occasional sound of the surfacing of the Boto.
From Wikipedia -
The Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, near the city of Tefé, is a 22,000-square-mile (57,000 km2) reserve near the village of Boca do Mamirauá. It includes mostly Amazonian flooded forest and wetlands.
Mamirauá is recognised by the international Ramsar Convention, as a wetland of global importance, as well as part of a World Heritage Convention's natural site. It has been proposed that the Reserve should form part of a future UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Brazilian Amazon. At present, it is included in one of the Ecological Corridors to be implemented by the PPG-7 Program for the Protection of Brazilian Tropical Forests.
The reserve is the legacy and life work of Brazilian scientist José Márcio Ayres.
Mamirauá has a human population estimated in 6,306 individuals, including amazonian caboclo, Ticuna, Cambeba and Cocama ameridian groups.
Mamirauá hosts a large diversity of birds, with more than 400 species recorded, including toucans, harpy eagle, hoatzin, 15 species of parrots and, specially, aquatic birds. Two species of monkeys, the white uakari and the black squirrel monkey are endemic of this region, which is also home of other kinds of arboreal mammals such as howler monkeys, sloths, coati and collared anteaters. Land mammals are not that common as most of the territory is flooded during the wet season. During this season the pink dolphin is distributed in the flooded forest.
The most conspicuous of the numerous fish species are tambaqui, piranha and pirarucu. Mamirauá is also a perfect place to spot the Amazon river dolphins, both boto and tucuxi.
The super rare Uakari monkey in the Mamiraua reserve in the heart of the Amazon jungle. This monkey is pretty tough to track and to get photos of. As soon as you think you have heard them, they disappear at lightening speed through the jungle. Got a few OK shots of them and hopefully will return in late may when the forest is flooded and hence the trees are shorter to the top.

Amazon tree boa (Corallus hortulanus) - Finca Las Piedras, Madre De Dios, Peru
One of the herpetological highlights of my recent trip to Peru was this Amazon tree boa. Completely at home in the trees, this species never needs to descend to ground level, although the juvenile can sometimes be found on low shrubbery hunting lizards. This adult had no problem quickly moving straight up into the canopy along very narrow bits of vegetation. Although these snakes have a bad reputation for having a nasty temper and an unpleasant bite due to their long teeth, this one was a sweetheart and was very placid.
