What a privilege to work at a university (UFAM), where we occasionally come across the wonders of the local fauna in Manaus (Amazon, Brasil). Here is a male of Pithecia pithecia eating fruit very close to our office.

A record of Caiman crocodilus just across my office. The surprises we have from time to time working at @UFAM campus, which is located within the largest urban forest fragment in Manaus, Amazon.
