Great to hear that you had some time for R&R in Jacareacanga. An interesting contrast to see the reservations between native Amazon Indians and Brazillians – in the states we are ever at odd with race and ethnicity, yet these problems occur world wide, as exemplified by a show on China that had them complaining about how broke North Koreans were with theem sneaking over the border to steal their things since they were so poor.

Thanks again for taking the time to post images and updates of your experinece, and safe travels on your next leg of the journey! Pssst – The Pumas should leave you alone unless you are wearing Adidas!

Dougie, watch those fish I think I saw the same show. They also call them penis fish. Be careful.

Puma’s in Brazile. very interesting. I would have expected jaguars not puma’s. In the US Puma’s tend to be 125-200lbs. Jaguars tend to be 50-75lbs bigger. I would expect little co-habitation as they compete. or fight with jags winning. That puma sounded WAY bigger than those up here. Maybe the Puma’s are more aclimated to people and thus more “see-able”..???
