Biologists reintroduced some turtles to the Floresta da Tijuca National Park.
I was looking for a waterfall when I saw a rock with a radiotransmitter glued on the top.It was a turtle sleeping behind a restaurant.

I answered your question early because I thought I found the name of the tree in the bananquit´s photo. But it was not the same, i mean, the flowers looked like the same, but the leaves are quite different. So, I had to delete the reply.
I knew the name of the tree but I couldn´t remember. I remember It was something related to bathing. Brush? Sponge? Scrubbing stuff? sandpaper to break up heavy dirt stuck to the body after a hard day?
After a lot of try, I could remember the local name of the flower. I bet this is the one:

Bonus Cat is feeling very pretty.
Kiddo decided that she’s too grown up now to have a doll’s cradle in her room. (Sniff… growing up too fast) While I figure out how to store it longterm, he colonized it, with the gracious permission of Alpha Cat, of course.

I was first thinking “Northwest Territories” in Canada, but it would be way too cold for frogs in that part of the world right now.

Are you thinking of luring it into your house and feeding it?

I might… but it’s upside down from me, so it’s unlikely to hop this far just to get s snacky… I suppose I could bribe @Wanderfound to pademelonnap and ship, but that doesn’t seem like a great idea, shipping critters via the mail.

Thank you for taking the time to find the name, pink powderpuff really is quite fitting. I am in northern Europe so a plant native to Brazil probably won’t make it here, but it sure is pretty.
Also thank you for all the beautiful birds.

The phrase, “A Northern Territory man today…” is as familiar to Australians as “In Florida today, a man…” is to North Americans.

De nada. You are welcome.
I’m glad you liked it. I’ve been trying to take good pictures of birds, sometimes I get lucky and take an acceptable one.
Cold weather is not good for most Brazilian plants. Although I saw on TV that the botanical garden in London has beautiful greenhouses full of plants and trees from different warm parts of the world.

Searching my chest of old photos for a photography contest, I accidentally found these photos of a rufous-bellied thrush, a flying creature that has adapted very well to life in the big city.
