Our new Giant Anteater is settling in well to his new surroundings and is finding the food that is put out for him. We look forward to having him roam our reserve in a few weeks. He will keep his radio collar so the team can track him.

Exciting news for our reserve. We now have a juvenile Giant Anteater which is a rescue from Santiago de Estero, in the north of Argentina. He is called Tupac, and is a 45kg male who is almost fully grown. He will be initially held in an enclosure but will be soft-released soon. We look forward to seeing him on our cameras traps in the future.

Our Inga trees are brimming with fruit and we have up to 10 Macaws visiting us twice daily to feed on these pods. You cannot miss their loud calls when they fly in

Our night sky is quite amazing. It is so clear, that you can often see the Milky Way in detail, plus stars, planets and comets.

This extremely shy mammal has decided to have her babies in our ‘Siestera’, a room we use for dining etc. The floor needs repairing in places, and she has managed to climb through a hole and make her nest under the floorboards. We now have several images on camera trap and are waiting for the babies to come out.
