Another new record for Madidi: a brown vine snake (Oxybelis aeneus) with spectacular adaptations for a life among the vines of the canopy and understory of the dry forest. Exceptional camouflage helps the non-venomous serpent avoid predators but also helps it hunt small vertebrates in dense vine tangles. We also document a magical metamorphism with photographs of a tadpole as well as the frog of a beautiful amphibian - the red-rimmed leaf frog (Phyllomedusa boliviana)!
