Photograph byChristian ZieglerDescription
These creatures can camouflage themselves to avoid being detected by other animals. Manu National Park, created in 1973 and a World Heritage Site since 1987, spans the whole basin of the Manu River, from cold grasslands above 4,000 meters down to the Amazon lowlands. More than 1,300 species of butterflies have been recorded there.
