Hope you enjoy some of our great wildlife shots.

Ashley Holland holding a Red Pacu caught in the pool below the drop of Corona Falls. On the rock beside him is a monkey petroglyph. Dozens of similar rock carvings can be found on the rocks around the falls. Corona Falls is a truly special place, rich in animal and bird life, sport fishing, plants and natural beauty.

Capybaras are the largest rodent in the world, and are common in the Rewa and the Rupununi Rivers. They can be seen along the river banks, foraging in the grass in small family groups. Capybaras are also a major food source for Jaguars.

Anaconda:. This big guy one was spotted sleeping on some rocks in the upper Rewa. When anacondas are asleep like this they can be safely approached from behind, for closer viewing. Also seen anaconda below Corona Falls in the lower Rewa River.

This shot was taken at Sea Wall camp on the last day in the Rewa River; after a 7 week trip and 10 jaguar sightings. This name of the camp refers to the strange rock formation along the bank which resembles the wall built as a sea defense in Georgetown. From left to right are Ashley Holland (guide), Jose (local assistant), Gordon Duncan (repeat guest), and Joe (local assistant).

Tiger Fish (Pseudoplatystoma spp.) as they are locally called are well known for their fighting spirit and endurance. These big catfish will strike at spoons rattle baits, fish bait and even the occasional fly. This one was caught by Samantha James in "Fish Pond" in the Rewa River. It weighed 35 lbs and was around 3.5 feet long.
