So, did you go swimming?

There was one occasion passing through Gatun lake at the high point of the Panama canal.  There was a large sign on shore that said No Swimming.  Of course once anchored I went for a swim along with several of my crew.

Next day when the pilot turned up I asked him why there was no Swimming. His one word answer: Alligators.

In a past life I was up the back of the Amazon on a wee adventure. After having a nice cool and freshening swim in the river (The Rio Negro), our guide asked if we wanted to go Piranha fishing for the rest of the afternoon.

We were a little perplexed, as there was only one river around that we knew of, the one we were just swimming in...

It did explain why the guide discretely checked with the ladies of the group that they weren't at 'that time of the month' before going swimming though. In hindsight he did also check none of us had grazes or cuts that might bleed when we were swimming. The Guide promised we were perfectly safe as long as the Piranha couldn't smell blood. Damn jungle was so hot and humid we were drenched in sweat about 5 seconds after swimming anyway.

That same trip, for some random reason, four of us and the guide were trying to stalk a black jaguar. It seemed a bit futile to me, trying to stalk a wild cat that lives in the jungle, while we crashed along making more noise than a noisy thing in it's environment. We gave up and went back to camp after my mate got attacked by a poisonous caterpillar. Very amusing, stalking a jaguar and getting taking out by a caterpillar... To be fair, it was very big, and colourful.
