A Neotropical otter defecating in a wetland of the Pampa biome, extreme south of Brazil. Otters commonly deposit their feces (spraints) in conspicuous sites known as latrines. These sites serve as important communication points.

I’m so happy to be back in the field, collecting data on these big guys in the Southern Brazilian wetlands of the Pampa biome for my thesis! 🌾

Look at this beautiful baby tegu, Salvator merianae! This large Neotropical lizard, found across most of Brazil, can grow over a meter long. They are generalist reptiles that consume fruits and disperse seeds.

Hello! I’m Pedro, and my research focuses on the role of semiaquatic mammals in dispersing seeds in wetland ecosystems. I study species like capybaras, coypus, and Neotropical otters, primarily in the Brazilian Pampa biome. Currently, I’m a PhD student at FURG, in southernmost Brazil.
