The mangrove tiger

The tiger heron (Tigrisoma fasciatum) is an ardeid that presents an intense orange coloration in its juvenile years, similar to that of the big Asian cat. It lives in rivers and wetlands in South America, in the Neotropical region. The photo was made in Cuyabeno Reserve, in the wonderful Ecuatorian amazon rainforest.
