  • Sipo Snake  (Chironius monticola) 1.2meters in length, found in Mindo Cloud Forest. +-1600 meters <br />
ECUADOR,  South America<br />
Range: Andean forests of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia & Venezuela<br />
This snake eats other snakes as well as other small amphibians and reptiles

  • Day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) Ankarana Special Reserve. NW MADAGASCAR. These are among the largest of the spelsuma species on the island and can reach a lenth of 300mm. They are common in coastal areas of northern Madagascar.<br />
Phelsumas are among the most prominent reptiles in Madagascar. They are also found on other Indian Ocean Islands. They are medium-sized to large arboreal diurnal geckos with round pupils. Species from humid regions tend to be brighter green, often with red marking while species from drier regions are often grey or brown. It is thought that their very conspicuous colour patterns could function as a premating isolation mechanism which helps to prevent interbreeding of different color morphs and therefore reinforce speciation events. In contrast to most other animal groups, Phelsuma seem to benefit from deforestation and are more abundant in cultivated areas than in natural habitas. However there are a few that are only found on edges of primary forest and they are seriously threatened by habitat destruction. All the phelsumas in Madagascar glue their eggs to a substate like bark. Usually 2 eggs per clutch. Several species like Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis defend their clutches.<br />
Threats: THEY ARE HEAVILY COLLECTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PET TRADE.

  • Green-eared chameleon (Calumma malthe) MALE. North-eastern rain or humid forests from the Tsaratanana and Marojezy massifs in  MADAGASCAR<br />
A medium chameleon that may reach a length of 26cm. They have well developed and fused occipital lobes - not separated by a notch. Lobes are composed of small scales. The rostral ridges merge to form a long nasal appendage. A dorsal crest is present in both sexes.<br />
There are more than 150 species world wide and over half of those are only found in Madagascar. All species on the island are Native.<br />
Chameleons are well-known for their special adaptions: The ability to change color rapidly to either match their surroundings or to reflect their mood. They have the capacity to move their turreted eyes independently of each other which allows them to look in different directions simultaneously. They have independent 360 degree vision except when hunting they use binocular vison to estimate the distance of the prey. They capture their prey with the rapid firing of their tongue which can extend to approximately half of their body length and is ended with a kind of gluing hammer. All species found in Madagascar lay eggs (Oviparous) and do not give parental care. The calumma and furcifer group are known as true chameleons as they have a prehensile tail.  The Calumma group is highly arboreal, thus the prehenile tail as well as having opposable, fused fingers to grip onto branches. They tend to be solitary except during the breeding season. <br />
Calumma malthe is CITES 11 classification and needs an export permit to be exported from Madagascar.<br />

  • Brown Caiman (Caiman crocodilus fuscus) - subspecies of Caiman crocodilus & Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes)<br />
Hato Masaguarel working farm and biological station, Guárico Province, VENEZUELA. South America.<br />
RANGE: Distribution map Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba*, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico*, Mexico (south), Venezuela<br />
The Llanos are flood plains stretching north of the Orinoco River to the Andean foothills, covering 300,000sq km in Venezuela and another 220,000 sq km in Colombia. This area has poor soil but is rich in its river systems which floods in the wet season leaving shallow marshes which nourish a high concentration of birds and animals.

Playita Beach, (mid) Orinoco River, 110 Km north of Puerto Ayacucho. Apure Province, VENEZUELA. South America. <br />
L average 90cm, Wgt 30-45kg. Largest fresh water river turtle in South America. Eggs round & 42mm. 90-100 per clutch. 6-8 weeks incubation.<br />
(This female measured:69cm curved carapace length & weighed:31kg and layed 121 eggs) Females come ashore to sun themselves for several days before laying to boost egg development.  They lay when the river is at its lowest. Herbacious and live in white or black water rivers moving into flooded forests of the Amazon during the wet season to feed on fallen seeds and fruit.<br />
RANGE: Amazonia, Llanos & Orinoco of Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Guianas, Ecuador, Peru & Bolivia.<br />
Project from Base Camp of the Protected area of the Giant River Turtle (& Podocnemis unifilis). (Refugio de Fauna Silvestre, Zona Protectora de Tortuga Arrau, RFSZPTA)<br />
Min. of Environment Camp which works in conjuction with the National Guard (Guardia Nacional) who help enforce wildlife laws and offer security to camp. From here the ministery co-ordinate with other local communities along the river to hand-rear turtles for the first year of their life and then release them. They pay a salary to a person in each community that participates in the project as well as providing all food etc. The turtles are protected by law and there is a ban on the use of fishing nets in the general area. During egg laying season staff sleep on the nesting beaches to monitor the nests.  All nests layed on low lying ground are relocated to an area not likely to flood. They are then surrounded by a net to catch all hatchlings who will then spend the first year of their life in captivity to increase their chances of survival.
