Karanambu Savanna

Out on the Karanambu savanna - a place I really liked

Termite or ant nests - the savanna floods, so there are no termite mounds on the ground

And another

Low shrubby trees border the open grassland

Some kind of Sandpaper trees.  These leaves really do feel like a very fine grit sandpaper or emery board.

Savanna Hawk  Buteogallus meridionalis

Here are a couple of photos (not mine) of birds we also found on the Karanambu savanna. 

This is a Wedge-tailed Grass-Finch  Emberizoides herbicola

Beautiful place, but unfortunately we didn't see a Giant Anteater. 

Thanks again to Jorge Martin Spinnuza at http://www.avespampa.com.ar/ for the additional bird photos.
