Snake and sturgeons

The other day I was on the way to the floating ponds in the middle of the river (Rio Negro), where some of our partner’s sturgeons spend one great part of their lifecycle. My objective was to shoot some videos. By coincidence suddenly a water snake appeared while I was shooting.

As us, the snake was heading for the ponds too! But fortunately this specie is not dangerous and definitely to small to strangle any of our precious sturgeons. It shows once again of how natural this reserve really is!

Unfortunately the video is too heavy to be shown here. Maybe I can compress it a little and try again. For now I can only show you a print screen of this beauty. Sorry. Hope to show more soon!
