One thing that my Peru eBird trip report doesn’t show is anything other than birds. So, with that in mind I thought a couple of posts were in order to show the mammals and insects I caught up with. The insects (mainly butterflies) one will follow but here are the mammals.
To be honest we didn’t see a massive number of mammals but it was good to catch up with 3 new primates and a few other bits and pieces. The primates were the snappily-named Shock-headed White-fronted Capuchin, Toppin’s Titi and Black-headed Night Monkey. Other stand-outs were a huge Spectral Bat that almost took my head off (!), Proboscis Bats, Brown Agouti, Bolivian Squirrel and the curious rabbit-like Northern Mountain Viscacha at high elevation in the Andes.
