Amazon tree boa (Corallus hortulanus) - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
The family Boidae includes some of, and in fact THE largest snakes in the world. The really big species like anacondas and adult boa constrictors don't tend to climb so much and many of the other species stay low despite not attaining huge sizes (rainbow, rosy, rubber, etc boas). However, there's an entire genus of boas that don't get so big and are well adapted to life in the tree tops. There are 9 species and they all spend the vast majority of their time in the tree tops only infrequently descending to near ground level. While still quite hefty animals they remain comparatively slender compared to terrestrial boas of the same size and as adults feed largely on birds, arboreal mammals like mouse opossums, and other animals they encounter high above the ground.

Thanks, Ilca, once more time. You made the difference. Amazon River, Brasil.
Have a good day my friends.
Esta é a primeira de algumas fotos que revelam um lugar especial, no Amazonas, e que infelizmente "ainda" não conheço: São Gabriel da Cachoeira.
Quando as vi, não pude resistir e quis "guardá-las" aqui, assim como mostrar a quem acessar estas páginas, um pouco dessa linda terra.
(os créditos das fotos são de Elizeu Malvão, militar e marido de uma grande amiga minha, Cleo, que viajou a trabalho p/ esse "paraíso" e gentilmente cedeu as fotos p/ editá-las aqui)

Arguably the longest river in the world, the Amazon meanders its way from the towering Andes in Peru to the sweeping coastline of Brazil, where it empties into the vast Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River and its tributaries is located in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Brazil. The entire river measures over 4,000 miles from its source to the river mouth. However, the exact length of the Amazon is arguable as the location of its start and end points have both been disputed historically. The Amazon River is currently alleged to be 6,992 kilometers long.*

Just wow, couldn't resist snapping off pics of London when she came for a rare visit to Crown, isn't she stunning! Worth having a look at it large size as well.
Not a rare bird in South America. Taken from the canoe in the Amazon basin. Is it just me or does he have really big feet?

Amazon Silence
Near the estuary of the Amazon River, the water cuts a wide swath through a very sparsely populated land. One morning, I sat by the riverbank next to our camp watching and listening to the world unfold before me. The river moved by slowly but what was very unusual was the silence that surrounded me. The normal jungle cacophony was not to be heard. The thick, overcast clouds seemed to function as a blanket over the entire region snuffing out all sound so that it felt like there was a weighted stillness to the air. The silence was so pronounced that it was as if I could feel it pressing in around me. The grey scale of the image helped to create the feeling of desolation and silence that I was feeling.
... Victoria amazonica is the largest of the Nymphaeaceae family of water lilies... the species has very large leaves, up to 3m in diameter, that float on the water's surface ... the flowers, upto 40cm in diameter, are white the first night they are open and become pink the second night ... they are pollinated by beetles.
photographed at the Amazon Waterlily Pavillion, Adelaide Botanic Garden, South Australia.
footnote: the flower was white when photographed ... a tint was added in post editing.
I take pictures every time you walk. Strolling beneath the hill forest, encountered such a picturesque tree.
Rob stopped by in his red amazon to pick up a roof rack so he could transport the Raleigh 650b conversion he fashioned to FFD.
