stuny Posted February 27, 2013 Share #1  Posted February 27, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ants emit a distinctive smell from their formic acid. One of the animals we most wanted to see while touring Panama was any anteater species. I joked with Barbara suggesting she wear a perfume that smells of formic acid, but I doubt we would be able to find it in any cosmetics store. But luck was with us when I spotted this northern amandua, a medium sized anteater which is primarily nocturnal but sometimes out during the day. They spend about 30% of their time in trees, which is where we saw this one. Panamanian naturalist guides all seem to be superb for birds, love sharing that expertise, but due to most tourists being interested in birds tend to overlook the mammals and reptiles. I'm amazed that our guide did not spot this animal, and equally amazed I did.  You can see many more Panama photos on our website.  [ Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted February 27, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted February 27, 2013 Stuart, Â A great shot (the first one). Well composed, sharp and great colors. If I didn't have three dogs and a lack of healthy ants, I'd take him home with me. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been through the Canal three times but never got far from the Canal Zone except searching for spare parts in the industrial section of Panama City.
