Fauna and Flora: The dominant vegetation is the Cerrado (the Brazilian equivalent of the African savannah), associated with the Atlantic Forest typical of the Brazilian coast. The Serra da Bodoquena has the largest expanse of preserved forest in the Pantanal Sul. Here you will find a wide variety of wildlife, including species already extinct in other regions of the country. Researchers have listed almost 700 species of birds in this region, including toucans, macaws, hummingbirds, tuiuiús and even the strange udu-de-coroa-azul. In terms of mammals, we can highlight the jaguars, wolves guarás, monkeys, anteaters and capybaras. Not to mention the alligators, the sucuris and the fish like the golden, the painted, the piraputanga. . . However, do not forget that it is not always easy to see these animals during a walk - you have to have patience and a little luck. . .
