Caroni Swamp

End the afternoon with a flat-bottomed boat tour of the Caroni Swamp. Thousands of birds roost there each night, the most spectacular of which is the Scarlet Ibis "Eudocimus ruber" famous for its brilliant scarlet plumage. They are completely scarlet, except for black wing-tips. They nest in trees, laying two to four eggs. Their diet is fish, frogs, reptiles and crustaceans. A juvenile Scarlet Ibis is grey and white; as it grows the ingestion of red crabs in the tropical swamps gradually produces the characteristic scarlet plumage. The life span of Scarlet Ibis is approximately 15 years in the wild and 20 years in captivity.
