Peru 2015 - Sugarcane

In Peru they refer to this as sugarcane.

The plant, not the bird.

Peru 2015 - Hoatzin

Another view of the hoatzin from earlier. When they are chicks, they have claws on their wings so they can climb trees. There weren’t any of the young present when I was there though, so I have no proof of this.

Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus)

There was a little girl,

Who had a little curl,

Right at the end of her tongue.

When she wanted honey,

She seldom spent her money,

But when she licked the hive, she was stung.

Asian elephant (Elephas maximus)

You know you’ve crossed a line when an elephant z-snaps at you.
