The Pororoca... when the high tide pushes up the river. The Amazon, as you would expect, has some serious examples of this. Sometimes, the heavy wave comes upriver in a clean way, good enough to surf, although sometimes the waves are full of the detritus collected along the way, trees and other vegetation rolling around. Which is dangerous. This version though is like the Pororoca Party.

Just a tapir having a rest on a scooter? Or perhaps not. It is quite obvious when the males of the species - the largest land animal of South America - has romantic intentions! He got the colour right, at least.
