Different country, though.

This is, of course, compared to what could have been seen. There are about 80-90 species of snakes alone.

Thanks for the hint. I already had a look at this French book when preparing the trip. By the way, there was a new book published in 2012: "Amphibians of Suriname". It seems to be very good and I will lend it from the library soon.

Thanks again for this new set of pictures. I love the animals as much as the pictures themselves (what kind of camera do you use BTW?).

@Guillaume: I used a Panasonic FZ200 and a Sony a350 with a 105mm macro.
@Niklas: I don't know how many species we have actually seen, because there are so many insects... All I can say is that 31 reptile species, 24 amphibian species and 24 mammal species (excluding bats) could be observed.
