AMBORO NATIONAL PARK 

CAMERA TRAP RESULTS

 

As part of our commitment to conservation projects , Nicks Adventures Bolivia has brought there own camera traps and placed them in many strategic areas of Bolivia which include Amboro National Park , Noel Kempff National Park , Kaa Iya National Park and private reserves in both the Beni Department and the San Miguelito Jaguar Conservation Reserve.

With the help of these camera traps we can observe which animals are found in each region and also moniter the activities of hunters in the regions as well.

SEE THE GALLERY OF THE CAMERA TRAP IMAGES FROM A LOCATION IN THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF AMBORO NATIONAL PARK , BOLIVIA.

The Spectacled Bear or Andean Bear we recorded in Amboro National Park

Puma or Mountain Lion with her cub , in Amboro National Park, Bolivia

The Ocelot , a beautifully marked cat which was once hunted in the thousands for its prized fur coats

The Tayra or Melero or spanish , one of many smaller mammals we have recorded in Amboro National Park


The rarely seen Margay , a small cat which is easilly confused with the Ocelot, it has been recorded imitating monkeys

One of our most exciting recordings, was that of the Jaguar or Panthera Onca, sadly we think this Jagaur was killed weeks later by cattle ranchers who border the park.
The Tamandua or lesser Anteater



Perhaps our most exciting capture, the Short eared Bush Dog, which is the first time its been recorded in the Amboro National Park
Red Brocket Deer, an important food source for the Puma and Jaguar



.
The Agouti Paca, a main prey species of the Cat species, sadly its also hunted heavilly from local communities.
These are just some of the hundreds of images which we have recorded on our own personal camera traps, if you are interested in helping us with these projects then join us on one of our tours to the many different regions of Bolivia, here you will have the opportunity to help us set up and check the camera traps and see which wildlife species are living in each different Ecoystem we visit.
