Ooh. Ooh yes. As if a huge fever* of rays isn't good enough on its own, a migrating humpback whale comes in for a browse. The whales head north in May and June, up to Abrolhos, Bahia and Noronha for breeding season in tropical waters. Well you would, wouldn't you. They pass up the coast of Brazil by beaches such as Juquehy on the north part of São Paulo state, often close to the shore.
The rays also make this trip although probably starting further north than the Southern Oceans. Such large fevers are seen occasionally in the area, more so now with drones to capture such fabulous encounters.
Parabens @rafa.mesquita and thanks for this repost.
*a fine collective noun to add your list!

You stop up at the viewpoint on your cycling trip to check out the sunset, and a maned wolf comes to check you out. No particular danger from these usually shy canids.

Just a little armadillo party somewhere in the Pantanal.

Look! A potoo! And even better! A baby one as well!

It looks quite serious but we guess they're just mother and child play-fighting in the style that generated a thousand memes a few years ago. Collared anteaters from the Brazilian cerrado bushlands. Our favourite bit is when the youngsters disappears, only to come legging it back in.
Do you want some more?

Sometimes you get lucky! So many ticks for this. A jag, lazing up a tree, yawning and perfectly showing its fangs, in the beautiful light of... the setting Pantanal sun. Perfect in every way.

Lovely shot of fresh waterfalls falling from the flat-topped mountains of Chapada Diamantina. This happens after a good rainfall. Spectacula views from the top of Cachoeirao, the largest falls that drop into the remote, closed off and very beautiful Vale do Patí.

An amazing scene... if a little grim... from high up in the rainforest. The heaviest and most powerful raptor isn't the largest bird of prey, the condor is larger. But if you know how big a coati is, the harpy dwarfs the poor thing.
Then we get more scale as a tiny-looking hawk comes to harass the harpy!
