Lovely photos! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, those are great photos. I have been to South America a few times, but I haven't seen that much wildlife. Where did you see the puma and the parrot licks?

I have my next trip scheduled to South America for August 2007 (Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana), but I may try to plan a South American wildlife trip for 2008.

Thanks, Michael

PS -- The water rats are capybaras, the world's largest rodent.

How big are those water rats? They look like hippos!

Great pics, thanks for posting them.
