These fantastic animals are relatively common in parts of South America when not hunted to extinction - this one apparently has an itch on its very long nose! Note the sniffing when she gets close to the photographer - no vision to speak of, but ... what's that smell?

  • Good question - I've worked a fair amount in Belize and Guatemala and never seen nor heard of one there, although some claim they once were found in both countries.
