Last summer, Sara from Wildfoot spent time on a wildlife viewing holiday in Brazil<\/a>. As part of the Wildfoot blog, Sara has been documenting her journey for all to read. Today, she ticks off yet another rare species from her wish list and spends time with a family of friendly otters.<\/em><\/p>\n

Day 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

This morning could almost be described as a lie-in, as I eat my breakfast at 6am before starting my activities an hour later.<\/p>\n

I embark on a gentle horse ride that is very relaxing, and while navigating the long grass, I catch a glimpse of a red brocket deer and agoutis, which is a large rodent. Another option here is fishing for piranha from small kayaks.<\/p>\n

We enjoy a fabulous lunch and have a leisurely boat ride in the afternoon, spending some time with a friendly family of giant river otters, as well as a small troupe of capuchin monkeys, which are busy feasting on fruit high up in the trees.<\/p>\n

At sundown, the river comes alive with hundreds of roosting egrets and cormorants lining the banks, while a constant stream of noisy parrots flies overhead.<\/p>\n

\"parrots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After yet another superb dinner, I force myself to stay awake and head out for a night time safari drive. With lots of good sightings being made the night before by other guests at my accommodation, I am feeling hopeful!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not long before we get our first sight of a tapir, one of Brazil\u2019s \u2018Big Five\u2019. It\u2019s certainly a peculiar looking creature!<\/p>\n

We also spot a couple of crab-eating foxes frolicking in the undergrowth and a family of white-nosed coatimundi, so I can go to bed with the knowledge that I have ticked off a couple more species on my wish list today!<\/p>\n
