Mau floats with pirañas and caimans

Mau floats with pirañas and caimans, originally uploaded by maujb.

The guides insisted that the pirañas and caimans never ventured beyond the shores to the center of the lagoon, but I swear I felt a nibble.
In the trees along the edge of the lagoon we saw turtles, amazon ducks, herons, black vultures, hawks, five species of monkeys and these crazy squawking turkey-like birds called Hoatzins.
