Animals, Birds, and Fish along the Amazon

I took probably 700 photos of wildlife along the Amazon. Sadly not many turned out very well. I was amazed at the animals I saw. We finished up our trip with a visit to a zoo in Iquitos where I did get good photos, but feel like that is cheating to include those. One of my favorites is the baby sloth below. I got photos of several large sloths way up in trees, but they weren't cute. So many colorful birds and of course the dolphins were also a favorite. Baby Sloth
This bird could talk!

Capybaras...largest rodent in the world




Two owls.....I was told this was a very rare sighting
