Black Capuchin Monkey or Macaco Prego Preto in Portugese (Sapajus nigritus) spotted in Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos during one of our first hikes. We spotted a second one (the last two photos) but I did not get very good photos of it. In fact…
Samara spotted this pair of Green-backed Trogons or sometimes also called Amazonian White-tailed Trogons (Trogon viridis) on the property at our first Airbnb. We watched them for a bit and noticed that they appeared to be building a nest (I looked it up and they…
I got to see another species of Coati while I was in Brazil. Though they do look similar to the White-nosed Coati that I saw in Arizona, I think they are a different species. The encounter was pretty brief and the light was failing so…

As the title says… nudibranchs from Florida. Enjoy!
This Harlequin Glass Slug (Cyerce cristallina) is from a dive in Lauderdal-by-the-sea back in 2022 with my friends Laura and Carl.
Today’s nudibranch I’ve labeled as “The Orange Dragon” because that is what I think of when I look at it, and tracking down its exact name is providing a bit tricky. A possible candidate is Placida barackobamai (yes, it is named after former president Barak…
