That's how close you get to the sea lions.

The Islas Ballestas are ruled by birds. They produce the valuable guano. They can s(h)it wherever they want.

Laser eyes! 🐍🔥

During my landing in Lima, Peru, I noticed this hill. This is the Cerro La Regla. It's located on the border between Callao and San Martín de Porres. At its peak, there's a statue of Jesus.

A dancing caterpillar of the brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea). 🐛🎵
It's German name is Goldafter. 💩💰😅 Hairs from those caterpillars are toxic for humans. They cause an itchy rash! ☠ At the moment, there are many in the bushes along the railway tracks, which they eat bare.

Indohyus Riverside. One of my drawings from 2007.
At that time I drew a lot of animal portraits. I also tried prehistoric animals. Although I've made some mistakes, this drawing was used for about 10 years in Wikipedia articles.

The indohyus was an ancestor of modern whales. It was a racoon-sized, mouse-deer-like, even-toed ungulate and probably lived partially aquatic.
Recently, another link between whales and land mammals has been discovered. While indohyus lived in India about 48 million years ago, the newly discovered species peregocetus was found in approximately 43 million years old sediments in Peru. It already had a length of 13 feet and was very well adapted to life in the water. But still had hooves.

Weird horse! 🐪
