In Brazil, it is widely known by the Tupi-derived name caxinguelê (ka'i xingüe), meaning "small monkey" or "tree dweller." It is a medium-sized tree squirrel with dark olive-brown to dark gray fur, a pale buff or yellowish underside, and a long, bushy tail ringed with lighter hair tips.Widespread across South America, particularly in the Atlantic Forest, the Amazon basin, and parts of the Cerrado across Brazil, northeastern Argentina, Paraguay, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Primarily feeds on hard-shelled nuts (such as Syagrus and Attalea palm seeds), fruits, fungi, insects, and occasionally bird eggs. As seed scatter-hoarders, they play a critical role in forest regeneration by burying seeds they forget to retrieve. Strictly diurnal and mostly solitary, spending the majority of its time high in the forest canopy. They construct round nests out of twigs, leaves, and moss in tree hollows or high branch forks.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday.

Ilha Grande is a tropical paradise a couple of hours off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. It is part of the city Angra dos Reis which belongs to Costa Verde or the "green coast". From beaches to jungle treks, there is something for everyone here. Boat tours are a common tourist activity and all the locals earn their living through the tourism industry.

Under the rhythm of distant drums,

Brazil Carnival isn’t just a celebration…
it’s a heartbeat.
And tonight,
she is the pulse of it.
We were surprised to spot this tapir on the riverbank. Even more startled than we were, he turned to run, then paused to face us before disappearing into the brush.
Tapirs are large plant-eating animals of Central and South America, and Southeast Asia. There are four types: Brazilian, Malayan, Baird's, and mountain tapirs. They have a long, flexible snout to grab leaves and fruit, and are related to horses and rhinos. Tapirs are great swimmers and use water to escape danger or cool off. They are usually shy, active at night, and prefer to live alone. Sadly, all tapir species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.

Costa do Sauipe Beach, Bahia, North East Brazil.
In this photograph I appear to have captured a 'Morning Glory or Roll Cloud', which is quite a rare meteorological event (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_glory_cloud)
I took this photograph as a storm developed over the Atlantic Ocean at Costa do Sauipe beach, Bahia, North East Brazil. The cloud developed as the storm moved from the sea inland. Quite a dramatic sight!
Pantanal, Brazil - The Ringed Kingfisher is the largest kingfisher in the Americas. Its heavy, pale-based bill, disheveled crest, blue-gray plumage, white collar, and red belly are visible and recognizable even at a distance. Ringed Kingfishers are often conspicuous, searching shallow water for fish from a prominent perch and chattering noisily when disturbed. Singles or pairs are also often observed flying high overhead and giving loud "keck!" contact calls. Like other kingfishers, the Ringed nests in burrows excavated in banks, generally along watercourses. This species occurs in areas with shallow water throughout the Neotropics south to Tierra del Fuego.
