Dyeing Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius)
I survived my expedition into the Surinamese Rain Forest, at the Kabalebo Nature Resort.
The best wildlife was definitely the frogs and toads. I saw several species of tiny poisonous frogs. How poisonous? “Why, the very touch is death, sir!” Well maybe not quite. My guide was willing to handle some of them, although he did wash his hands carefully afterwards, and I had one sitting on my hand for a bit.

I didn’t see very many larger animals. I did see some combative otters, a blurry glimpse of something my guide assured me was a Capyabara, and glimpses of a Very Giant Anaconda resting in undergrowth on the river bank. The Very Giant Anaconda was very thick and my guide reckoned it was upwards of 5 meters long and should not be messed with.
