We could approach this White Hawk (Leucopternis albicollis) up to less than 6 meters.
Bizarre as it is often killed by farmers, because he steals young chicks.

Also this White-necked Puffbird (Notharchus macrorhynchus) I could approach up to 4 meters.
Usually they stay in treetops. But not this one, who had nothing else than
a devasted forest.

Evidence of the presence of Recurve-billed Bushbirds (Clytoctantes alixii).
They open with their bizarre looking bill decading second growth as we do with a can opener.

Southern Tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) wandering in the plains. Usually this tree-climbing animal looks
for ants and termites close to forest. So he can go for safety when threatened.

We were lucky to find an Anaconda (Eunectes murinus). This one was 5 meters!
