Wrap up - Pantanal - Thread Four

[Otavio]

Dear fellows, here are the last shots from my trip to Pantanal. Any C&C is welcomed. Thank you for viewing!

Cheers,

1 - Dragonfly


2 - A Collared Peccary - We found this beautiful guy, when moving from one spot to another, in the river.


3 - They are great swimmers


4 - And great runners, also!


5 - Yacare Caiman - A Pantanal's predator of many species; yet, it is a Jaguar's prey!


6 - Caterpillar


7 - The so feared Piranha! This one attacked my peacock bass lure, proving they are really an agressive species.


8 - A pair of bees that came to visit our boat.


9 - This 3m long Caiman were visiting our lodge every night (a better neighbor than a Jaguar)


10 - A peacock bass, being caugth by my dad.


11 - Another Caiman, with a fish in its mouth.

Great captures of the peccary swimming. Those were some fine bee shots too. I've never seen an alligator in the wild before (or croc?)

I haven't seen a dragonfly with black wings before. Other shots are interesting too. Thanks for sharing Otavio

This dragonfly species is quite common there in Pantanal, Binnur, although I never saw one here in Rio.
