All vultures are ugly.

They are even uglier when they blink.

They stand around in ugly groups

Looking for dead stuff.

This vulture has a pink head

Which actually makes him kind of pretty.

Bye vulture.

Anhinga are basically cormorants.

But more stabby.

Cormorants have hooks at the end of their beak.

Which they use to catch fish in their beak.

Anhinga have straight beaks.

They stab the fish with their beak

Tricked you, that’s a cormorant.

It looks pretty stabby to me.

We didn’t get any pictures of anhinga fishing.

Anhinga dry out their wings like cormorants.

And they have funny necks like cormorants

This is an orange-backed troupial.

They do not seem very hard to spot.

But we only saw one, so I guess they are.

Kerri’s Mom said we couldn’t pet the kitties in the Pantanal.

So we didn’t. This one looked pretty grumpy anyway. The Jaguars were way friendlier.

Here are some more river otters

They were herding fish

When they had surrounded the wish the fish would all jump out of the water and splash

But apparently we didn’t get any pictures of that

So you’ll have to just look at the cute scary giant otters.
