Jungle Footographs
Deep in the Jungle of South Texas, Sarai Valdez braves the wildlife from the passenger seat of her car to get this footograph with a beautiful Zebra. OK, so there's no jungle in South Texas (heck, there aren't even many trees), but there is a Wildlife Ranch near San Antonio and that's where Sara snapped this cool footo.
We're not sure if they have goats in the Jungle, but we didn't know where else to put this footograph of the world's most pregnant goat. Pretty impressive, eh? That's the foot of Sarai Valdez at the Wildlife Ranch in San Antonio, Texas.
This footograph could fit into several categories - but we've chosen Jungle Feet for our first Armadillo footo ...or ...footadillo. That is Jim Campbell's foot at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge on a night when he and his wife Darlene were out photographing wildlife. Jim says "This young nine-banded armadillo came right up to my foot and was as curious about me as I was about him." Footo by Darlene Campbell.
This is the last time Alex Garcia saw his foot! Isn't it amazing the sacrifices people will make for a great footograph?? Actually, this footograph was taken at the Rain Forest Cafe in downtown San Antonio during the great ice storm of 2007. Like most of San Antonio, the place was deserted! Just Alex and the Alligator.
A group of coaches from Edinburg North High School in Edinburg, Texas bravely ventured into the Amazon jungle to visit the hometown of one of their colleagues. After flying from Reynosa, Mexico to Mexico City, to Lima, Peru and finally to Iquitos, the 24 hour trip was only the beginning of this odyssey. The group spent the first night at the Hotel Anaconda in Iquitos then boarded El Arca for their four day Amazon journey. During the journey, their charter boat stopped at several tribal villages to trade clothing for native artwork, jewelry etc. Air conditioning was at a premium. Bug spray and sunblock were necessities. From Pirhanna fishing to alligator hunting, the coaches had experiences most people only read about in geography textbooks. The word "sanitation" apparently hasn't been translated into any language which is understood in the Amazon region as many of the practices found there were primitive by modern American standards. Nonetheless, the people were friendly and welcoming, the food unique and the scenery often amazing. There are many more pictures of the journey - without feet - which will eventually be available for viewing on this website. Stay tuned.
