35. Brazilian (Lowland) Tapir at clay lick, Manu
This is the world's largest Tapir clay lick, observed after dark from the 'comfort' of mattresses placed on an observation platform 20ft above the lick (under mosquito nets!). I took just this one photo of this large male,
which came in just after 9pm, before my flashgun stopped working!
