The Pantanal of Brazil, Bolivia & Paraguay is South Americas Serengeti: its wetlands are the largest on earth (theyre half the size of France) &, in the dry season, crocodiles & storks jostle to gobble the last of the dying fish. Here, the continents largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters, anacondas & the worlds largest parrot.

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.
