Make an Exhibit for that Country - Ecuador Part 1 - Amazon Basin Headwaters

  • Media owner KevinB

The first part of my submission on Ecuador the thread "Make an Exhibit for that Country". The first part, "Amazon Basin Headwaters", focused on the tropical moist broadleaf forest and riverine habitats of the region east of the Andes, comprising the upper reaches or headwaters of the Amazon basin.
Can I have a vague guess at which species some of the enclosures are for?

3: Baird's/South American tapir?
4C,D,E,F: Ecuadorian capuchin, Silvery woolly monkey, Black-headed spider monkey, Gray-bellied night monkey?
7: Deer/tapir species?
8A,B,C: Colocolo, ocelot, oncilla?
9A: Giant otter?
9D: Boto?

They're probably mostly wrong, but...
