Ecogwiyan

2 articles written after I spent several days in the Amazon jungle with Eddy, 10 days on the jaguar SPECIES program sponsored by Kwata and the WWF. I got one botfly maggot in my arm from these adventures.
After a trip to the everglades where I encountered Alligators and Salt water crocodiles, I wrote an article over crocodilians and the main differences between Crocodiles, Caymans and Alligators.
These articles are in French you can download the file here

Sea Kayaking in French Guiana

I went kayaking to a smal Island 4 NM from the coast off Cayenne. The sea was fairly calm and fairly green. The trip took 4 hours in total due to the strong currents. I stayed in the Kayak because I couldn't go ashore. I saw dolphins, a turtle and shark finns around the island.


View of the Cayenne Island, on the left is the mouth of the Mahury river, you can see the hill of Rorota and Mahury. On the far right the city of Cayenne is behind the hills.
