Amazon Tree Frog #5092
This is a photo of an Amazon Tree Frog. The unusual pattern on the eyes is a protective second eyelid, known as the nictitating
membrane.

Anaconda #671
This Anaconda was found in the wild in a swamp in the Los Llanos region of Venezuela.
It's sheer speculation what this anaconda had eaten. Perhaps it was a Capabara, perhaps a Caiman. In any case, the
curves and lumps in its enormously stretched belly was something that had been alive very shortly before we encountered
this snake.

Anaconda #672
I waded swamps in Los Llanos, Venezuela for hours looking for the famous anaconda. We found two, coincidentally spaced only
perhaps fifty meters apart from each other. Thankfully, they both had very recently eaten, probably within hours. The largest
of the two - both of which were enormous - was perhaps 6-7 meters long.
