Peter Taylor is an American herpetologist and tropical ecologist in residence at Caiman House Field Station. Peter will show you the local animals he has under observation: generally snakes, spiders and insects. In the late afternoon you will accompany Peter and his indigenous crew as they capture black caiman on the Rupununi River, a research project you can observe and even join, as they weigh, measure and collect other scientific information. Please note that during periods of high water it is very difficult to capture black caiman. During such times you will be offered instead of caiman capture the opportunity to join Peter on a nocturnal foray to observe small mammals, birds, snakes, amphibians, insects, spiders, and the occasional caiman.
