Here, the continents largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters, anacondas & the worlds largest parrot.
A comprehensive introduction to the best place to watch wildlife in South America, & beautifully illustrated throughout, Bradts Pantanal Wildlife is the only portable book to cover all the main wildlife groups while focussing exclusively on the Pantanal. Bradts fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing & often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors guide provides an introduction to the regions principal flora & fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go & what to take & photography tips.
Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, & will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir.
