Day four: Monday, June 8th

posted on junio 08, 2015 12:05

After an evening of reviewing records of the first day our herpetologists confirm a new amphibian record for the park – Hypsiboas marianitae. Similarly, the ichthyologists find a suckermouth catfish (Astroblepus sp.) that is also a new park record. The bat team brings in five species in one night including the famous vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus). In the meantime the Herculean three-day task of setting 60 camera traps across 80 square kilometers begins for the large mammal team. Traversing the steep valleys and thick gallery forest is a major challenge, but one which the team relishes.
