Bradt Travelguides Wildlife of the Pantanal

Natuurgids van de Pantanala in Bolivia, Brazilië en Paraguay.

Bradt’s fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on
regions of the world particularly celebrated for their
amazing and often unique species. With spectacular
photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout,
each visitors’ guide provides an introduction to the
region’s principal flora and fauna alongside suggested
wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go
and what to take and photography tips. Written in a
deliberately engaging way, they offer something different
from dry field guides, and 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. The Pantanal of Brazil, Bolivia and
Paraguay is South America’s Serengeti: its wetlands are
the largest on earth (they’re half the size of France)
and, in the dry season, crocodiles and storks jostle to
gobble the last of the dying fish. Here, the continent’s
largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters,
anacondas and the world’s largest parrot. A comprehensive
introduction to the best place to watch wildlife in South
America, and beautifully illustrated throughout, Bradt’s
Pantanal Wildlife is the only portable book to cover all
the main wildlife groups while focussing exclusively on
the Pantanal.
