  • Huaorani Indians using banana leaves as umbrellas to shelter from the rain.<br />
Bameno Community. Yasuni National Park.<br />
Amazon rainforest, ECUADOR.  South America<br />
This Indian tribe were basically uncontacted until 1956 when missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics made contact with them. However there are still some groups from the tribe that remain uncontacted.  They are known as the Tagaeri & Taromenane. Traditionally these Indians were very hostile and killed many people who tried to enter into their territory. Their territory is in the Yasuni National Park which is now also being exploited for oil.

  • Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis)<br />
MADAGASCAR<br />
One of the most bizarre mammals/ primates / lemurs in the world. Their peculiar features include huge ears, bushy tail, long shaggy coast, rodent-like teeth and a skeletal 'probe-like' middle finger. Males and females are simular looking and have a body length of 440-530mm and weight of 2.3kg. They are nocturnal lemurs and largely solitary. During the day they hide in a 'nest' which they make from twigs and dead leaves. They are continually making new nest sites. They feed on ramy nuts (Canarium madagascariensis) nectar from Traveller's palm (Ravenala madagascariensis), some fungi and insect grubs. They have also been known to raid coconut, lichee and mango plantations. They use their rodent-like teeth to gnaw into hard nut shells, then insert the skeletal finger to extract the pulp. A large portion of their night is spent foraging and they are able to travel considerable distances to do that. <br />
HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION: Low and mid altitude rain forests, dry deciduous forests and some cultivated areas like lichee and coconut plantations. They are found widely in native forests along the entire east coast rain forest region, northern humid forests and west coast from Bemaraha north.<br />
THREATENED SPECIES: The population densities are not known but as in the case of most lemurs probably declining through habitat loss as their home-ranges are large. In some areas it is 'fady' (taboo) to hunt them while in others they are thought to bring bad luck and are killed by villages.  The meat is also sometimes eaten.<br />

  • Emerald tree boa (Corallus canina (caninus)) Adult showing thermoreceptors between the labial scales These termoreceptors are well developed in the Corallus family and they are very heat-sensitive snakes.<br />
Amazon Rain Forest<br />
ECUADOR, South America<br />

  • Brazilian tapir (Tapirus terrestris) Male. WILD<br />
PHOTOGRAPHED IN: Serra da Bodoquena. Limestone elevated area which devides the Pantanal and the Cerrado. Mato Grosso do Sur Province. BRAZIL.  South America. RANGE: South America, E of Andes from n colombia to s Brazil, n Argentina and Paraguay, including Amazonia and Orinoco tropical forest basins.  They habit lowland rain forest and lower montaine forest from sea level to 1,700 meters (5,600 ft). <br />
Over hunting by humans and forest destruction is causing their numbers to decline dramatically and they are now classified as near threatened. They are predictable as they use well defined paths to water, where they spend large amounts of time either fully submerged or mud-wallowing. They live on average of 30 years with the female giving birth on average of 1 young every two years. These are the heaviest wild land mammals in South America.

  • Baudrier's chameleon (Furcifer balteatus) FEMALE. Occurs in the eastern rain forest from Ranomafana National Park to Andohahela National Park. MADAGASCAR.<br />
This species is large with a length of 35cm and has divergent nasal appendages and a bold diagonal stripe present on each flank extending from behind the occiput to the inguinal region. Males are duller than females with white and green alternated stripes. <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 />
Furcifer balteatus is CITES 11 classification and needs an export permit to be exported from Madagascar.<br />

  • Parson's chameleon male (Calumma parsonii parsonii) NIGHTTIME SLEEPING POSITION. Eastern rain forests from Ranomafana National Park south to Andohahela. (either secondary or primary humid forests) MADAGASCAR<br />
This species is the heaviest (or largest bodied) in Madagascar with Furcifer oustaleti being the longest.  It may reach a length of 55cm. In this species the head bears a high triangular helmet without parietal crest but has paired rostral appendages present in the  males.<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 parsonii is CITES 11 classification and needs an export permit to be exported from Madagascar.<br />
