The taxidermy at the Campo Grande aquarium made us want to cover our eyes.
So we’re sharing it with you.
It may give you nightmares.
Can’t even tell which direction this one is looking.
Everything is pulled so taught and animals aren’t that skinny.
I’m not sure what this one is looking for.
Hopefully not a toucan
I bet you don’t even know what this one is
At least the anteaters are identifiable.
They opened up this park just for us.
It had a bird that looks like a robin but isn’t.
And lots of tegus
This one has a false eye
The bigger ones were sunning on the path
They hid under the fence when we got close
But didn’t seem too worried
They wandered away slowly
Sniffing
When they got tired of Kerri and her camera
This is an armadillo
The coati’s were not as bold here
These palm trees aren’t as good for shade
And the bugs are weird.
We took a picture of the rib fish we were always eating at the aquarium.
But we can’t remember which one it is.
This fish keeps its babies in its mouth.
This is a catfish.
There were a lot of fish.
Some of them we saw snorkelling.
Some we did not.
Some are from different rivers.
This one has orange eyes.
This is what snorkelling with caiman would have looked like if the water was clearer.
This is a bat falcon.
He is standing on a bridge.
But he’s still flapping his wings in the wind.
Which looks really funny.
Maybe they were wet.
Or maybe he’s just a silly little falcon.
Sorry.
He’s not a silly little falcon.
He’s a fierce predator.
Ready for any prey that the wind blows into him.
Coati are kind of like racoons
But longer
And they’re not nocturnal so they’re more likely to be out during the day.
But they like trash just like racoons
I assume the trash cans in Campo Grande are elevated to keep them out
But it sure doesn’t work very well
Trouble makers
