PHOTOGRAPHED IN: Pantanal. Largest contiguous wetland system in the world. Mato Grosso do Sul Province. BRAZIL.  South America. RANGE: All of South America.<br />
They are the largest rodents in the world - averaging 50kgs or 110Lbs. Largely aquatic mammals that feed on vegetation in and around swamps. They live in family groups of 10 - 30 animals. Due to their large litter sizes - up to 7 babies, they are are well suited to farming.  They do not compete with cattle as they graze short grass near water.

  • Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) Large pod seen from the air near Mombo on Chief's Island.<br />
Okavango Delta. BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
Aquatic mammals who come out onto land at night to graze on grass. They play an important role in keeping river channals open. May stay submerged under water for up to 8 minutes. An adult animal does not usually have any major enemies except in areas where there is very little grass and they have to walk long distances to find food. Their weakened condition may then render them vulnerable to lion or hyaena. They can also migrate seasonally to rain filled pans to allow access to grazing areas.

  • Galapagos sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki) underwater<br />
Española or Hood Island, Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individuals in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savegely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occures mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.
