Alphabetical list

South American coatis were common near Igazu. Apparently they were too common and even dangerous for tourists. They approached visitors unceremoniously and those who recklessly held food in thin foil bags were violently attacked and deprived of their meals. In over-30-degree heat it was even difficult to drink without being bothered by them. One of participants of our trip (greetings to Paweł) sat down in a nearby restaurant and opened a can with some drink – the can placed on the table was confiscated by coatis at once. They did it swiftly, decisively and aggressively.

I photographed South American sea lions during a short cruise around the islands located near Ushuaia. We were probably a little late to be witnesses of the birth of a young sea lion.  Anyway the after-birth “leftovers” were a subject of interest of leucophaeuses and a kelp gulls, which cautiously approached the sea lion and its newborn. A male sea lion is much bigger than the female and it stood out among dozens of sea lions bathing on the rocks in the sunshine. Males can weigh up to 350 kg, and they can have a body length of 2.7 m.
