Capturing caiman at night
If you ever have wanted to find a caiman with a high powered light by catching the glow of their eyes you should join Dr. Bodmer in the Amazon Riverboat Project. It is a thrill to catch the creature with a homemade lasso type tool and then bring them aboard, tape their mouths shut, measure them, stroke their skin which is amazingly smooth and the patterns are beautiful, and see what they have eaten for the past few days. This is all done at night under the Southern Cross.
