Chestnut-eared Aracari symphony This was one of the most memorable wildlife spottings we had in the Pantanal, not because of the photo (couldn't get any closer), but because of the moment. Our guide didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he saws these five Aracari sipping from the river in sync. Each sip, 4 would sip whilst the 5th stood guard. Every few seconds another guard was appointed. Who knew Toucans had drinking rituals like myself?
