Endemic to the Colombian rain forest with a lifespan of up to around 14 years in the wild and around 24 years in captivity. During the late 1960's as many as 30.000 Cotton-Top-Tamarins were taken from the wild and exported to the US where they were used for biomedical research. With large habitat destruction the Cotton-Top-Tamarin is at risk with as little as 6000 individuals left in the wild.
A species of New World monkey from central South America and ranges from the south-central Amazon in Brazil through Pantanal eastern Bolivia, Chaco and northern Paraguay. They live together in small groups and their diet predominantly consist of tree sap but will also eat fruits, small invertebrates, insects and eggs.

One of my favourite Neotropical birds is the Campo Flicker, a woodpecker with a striking yellow collar and ear coverts. They are often found foraging on the ground.and, rather than fly long distances, or when moving up and down anthills or termite mounds, these birds choose to hop. They also can be seen perching on telephone wires or tree-tops, in the style of a songbird.
Colaptes campestris is sometimes referred to as Field Flicker or Pampas Flicker. This fearless female was seen searching for insects in leaf litter in the grounds of a lodge in the Pantanal, Brazil.

Formerly known as the Louisiana Heron, this slender day-heron is found only in the New World, and is one of 4 North American herons in the genus Egretta (Snowy Egret [Egretta thula], Little Blue Heron [E. caerulea], and Reddish Egret [E. rufescens]). Until the arrival of the Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) in the 1950s, this species was likely the most numerous North American heron. Although probably not commercially important to the plume trade at the turn of the twentieth century, the Tricolored Heron undoubtedly suffered because of its habit of nesting with more valuable species.
The diet of this heron consists almost entirely of small estuarine and marsh fishes, which it acquires through a diverse array of foraging behaviors. This species is less social in foraging habits than are most other North American herons, typically feeding either solitarily or at the edge of mixed-species groups. The Tricolored Heron is also more commonly associated with coastal habitats than are other herons, except the Reddish Egret. In the United States, food availability and, indirectly, the amount and type of habitat, appear to control the number of breeding attempts.
I found this one at the Joe Overstreet Landing on Lake Kissimmee in Osceola County, Florida.

Just a name of the hotel in Beijing where we met for the day's tour.
Well, I was first one to show and instead of being bored, I made some turns and took some shots.
I'm blessed to have had a blue sky in Beijing which is characterized by heavy smog and pollution..

눈을 떠, 진실들과 마주할 때
비로소 세상은 바뀔 수 있어
Why are you hesitating?
Why are you waiting? (Ooh)
Don't you hide it, don't you fight it? (Ooh)
Where are we going?
No one knows it, we're just going, right? (Right)
For glory, for victory
We can fight all night
어둠이 걷혀질 땐 한 줄기 빛이면
충분하지 그저 나를 따르길
It is the time
(This new world, it's, eh)

I saw this little guy at the Alligator Farm in Saint Augustine, Florida.
This species inhabits lowland, seasonal rainforests along the Brazilian Atlantic coast in Rio de Janeiro. This species is endangered.
An Oncilla scent marking its territory. The Oncilla, also known as the Tiger Cat, Little Spotted Cat and Tigrillo, is related to the larger Ocelot and Margay. It is one of the smallest New World cats.

NOUVEAU MONDE
Ils vinrent de tous les horizons
De toutes les mers
Habiter des pays en devenir
Un Nouveau Monde
En ces temps lointains, l’aventure, c'était la vie de tous les jours
Pas un défi à être homologué
Les chants de la haute mer toute proche
Et la plainte du vent n’avaient pas de simulacres informatisés
Les rires s’entendaient et les pleurs aussi
C'était avant les émoticônes!
Mais ce Nouveau Monde est déjà ancien
Un autre lui succédera
Celui-là ne sera pas « découvert » comme le premier…
Il naîtra en nous, entre nous
Par-delà toutes les frontières
Et il viendra de tous les horizons
De toutes les mers

NEW WORLD
They come from all the horizons,
From all the seas
To inhabit countries in the making
A New World.
In these distant times, the adventure was everyday life
Not a challenge to be certified.
The songs of the high sea nearby
And the laments of the wind were not computerized fakes.
The laughter could be heard, and also the cries.
It was before the emoticons.
But this New World is already old
Another will succeed;
This one will not be "discovered" as the first . . .
It will be born in us, among us
Beyond all borders.
And it will come from all the horizons
from all the seas.

It’s no surprise that few people get to see the Oncilla in the wild... These small cats are nocturnal and arboreal, living in dense forests from Costa Rica south to northern Argentina. Their exact range, distribution and population is unknown, but they are thought to be declining as a result of poaching and habitat loss.
The Oncilla, also known as the Tiger Cat, Little Spotted Cat and Tigrillo, is related to the larger Ocelot and Margay. It is one of the smallest New World cats.
Exclusively carnivorous, their diet is similar to other small cats: birds, small mammals, reptiles and the occasional tree frog. The Oncilla is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
I went to Hamerton in Cambs. to get close views of this elusive and beautiful spotted cat.
One of the first European descriptions of the tree which yields cacao beans from which chocolate is made was by Girolamo Benzoni (ca.1519-after 1572). He was a dauntless traveller in the New World and his hodge-podge La historia del mondo nuovo was published at Venice in 1565. Among his many descriptions of all kinds of naturalia is one of the Cacao Tree.
Like most Europeans he remarks on its use by the indigenous peoples and in an edition of his work there's this (inset) engraving of the tree with cacao fruits close to its trunk; in the distance they're drying in the sun. On the left a fire is being made perhaps for their cooking.
Unsugared chocolate to many has a bitter, pungent taste. Apparently Benzoni had not tried it with sugar. He remarks that the Meso-american drink made from it is unpalatable to humans and suited only for hogs.
The photo shows Cacao flowers sprouting directly from the tree's bark.

This small friendly white kitty was roaming the trails of the Reserve looking for prey... when suddenly, it spotted something in the grasslands...

Unfortunately, the main threats to the Laguna Nimez Reserve are related to its proximity to El Calafate. Large numbers of dogs and cats are observed hunting in the reserve and, in the past, it was common to see grazing animals.
Reserva Natural Laguna Nimez, El Calafate, Lago Argentino, Santa Cruz, Argentina
Laguna Nimez Reserve is an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA). It has a variety of 80 species of birds, both Patagonian residents and migratory, including waterfowl, landbirds, and shorebirds.
The vegetation is typical of Patagonian steppe, composed of fescue grasslands with alternating varieties of Berberis sp. and Senecio sp.. In the zones that are often covered by the flooding waters of Argentino Lake (Lago Argentino) there are reed beds (Schoenoplectus californicus).
