Our Amerindian guide in the front of the boat found this in the trees above us on our boat trip back to the ranch in the darkness (we also had many fish-eating bats flying around the boat and had 3 fish actually jump into the boat) At one point we were totally inundated with some kind of moth like insect and had to turn off the light Amazon Tree Boas are a boa species that are incredibly adapted to life in the trees. They live, eat, drink (raindrops and mist that gathers on the leaves), mate, and give birth, in the trees of tropical South America. Amazons are nocturnal hunters, so they're even more fun to watch at night. All night long they can be seen either actively cruising in search of prey, or hanging motionless from a branch in an S-shaped body curve trying to imitate a hanging vine, just waiting for some unsuspecting prey item to come walking by. Active foraging is much more typical with younger/smaller Amazons than with larger adults, who tend to spend the night hanging in an "S-Shape".
