Iguazu Falls - Part 2 The Animals

Iguazu Falls was teeming with wildlife. It seemed like everywhere we looked, we saw something moving. Nathanael was hoping for a Jaguar sighting, but Sarah is happy to say that we never saw one (even if it would have been a good photo op!). But we did get to see so many animals we have never seen before and some that we have only seen in zoos.

So, without further ado...the wildlife tour:

Starting with the birds
(The Toucans were Nathanael's favorite.)

Coatis - cousins of the raccoon and scavengers...they will steel your food right out of your hand!

These lizards looked like they were fighting (biting, clawing, hissing) but upon closer inspection of the photo, that may not be the case!

Butterflies everywhere!! There were so many butterflies that we even had some landing on us! It was incredible! Check out the range of colors...

Millipedes or caterpillars (we can't agree!) maybe doing the same thing the lizards were doing?!

And Sarah's highlight saved for last....Look how many MONKEYS were in the trees after a huge tropical downpour!

Ahhh...Isn't he cute?!
