BEST WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS IN 2020

 

 THE BEST WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS OF 2020 WITH NICKS ADVENTURES BOLIVIA 

2020 for the world and the travel industry has been a year to forget, however that does not mean we have not stopped exploring to ensure our clients have amazing travel experiences  in Bolivia when its safe to travel. 

We have been able to explore a few times during the relaxed quarantine and here are some of our best wildlife watching experiences in 2020

1 : THE WORLDS ANGRIEST SLOTH 

Without a doubt this Sloth encounter will forever live in my memory. This Sloth had the rage of 100 Honeybadgers and was something we will never forget. 

2 : Jaguar sighting which kept a 100 percent sighting in 11 trips at our new and exciting Jaguarland Reserve Bolivia   While it was a brief sighting , it was a truly wild Jaguar. One that had seen very few humans, has never been fed and is nature at its pure wildest self. This is how we prefer to see Jaguars. 

3 : AMAZING OCELOT SIGHTING AT JAGUARLAND RESERVE BOLIVIA 

We love Ocelots. These mini Jaguars are simply incredible !! Every single sighting for us is magic.

 4 : JAGUARUNDI IN BOLIVIA 

5 : INCREDIBLE JAGUAR SIGHTING IN JAGUARLAND RESERVE BOLIVIA.

A very important sighting of a Jaguar as we were exploring our new and exciting Bolivian Wildlife watching Paradise of Jaguarland Reserve in the wet season. The best part of this sighting is our drivers son came with us and saw his first Jaguar at the age of 15 years old. We have now made a new Jaguar conservation warrior 

 Sadly these are the only times we have been able to really explore in 2020. We hope to have many more sightings and footage to show in the near future. 

THE WORLDS ANGRIEST SLOTH !!

 Beware of the Angry Sloth

Last week we were lucly enough to be able to escape the City and explore our new and exciting wildlife watching paradise of Jaguarland Reserve.  The aim was to set up camera traps as well as monitor wildlife in the region. 

The first day we had glorious weather which quickly turned bad and we had heavy rains for the next day and a half. Thanksfully it cleared up and we are able to continue with our wildlife watching and we observed many different animals with the highlights being a Jaguar, Tapirs, Ocelots and quiet possibly the worlds angriest Sloth. 

We saw a large male Sloth crawling in an area where we had seen farm dogs the day before so decided to put it in a tree out of harms reach of the dogs. What we didnt expect was the aggression this Sloth showed and never in 7 years of nearly daily encounters with these usual gentle creatures have we seen a Sloth with this type of attitude. We assume that he was in search of a mate which could of explained his anger to our presence. 

 

The good news is that after a slight struggle we safely put the Sloth back in a tree and we hope to see this Sloth during future travels. 

** Its very important to note that we NEVER recommend handling Sloths unless its required and only if you have knowledge in handling them. Sloths also they seem gentle have incredible strength and their claws can easily inflict serious damage and harm to humans.
