Here are some videos and photos of wild life in the region where I live. These different species of plants and animals seriously - just live next to my house and often have been found near by. I really love this about living in the jungles of Peru. Just the amazing variety - the wild life, the plant life. The whole thing actually.
Here are just some amazing creatures that I have stumbled across - and luckily had a camera to capture.
