It's widely believed that Brazil is the most biodiverse country on the planet, making it the richest living laboratory for learning about wildlife. Across the nation's various forests (rainforest, semideciduous, pine, palm, scrub, and savanna), grasslands, mangroves, and expansive wetlands are 700+ mammal species, 1900+ birds, 750+ reptiles, 1000+ amphibians, 4800+ fishes, and perhaps millions of insects. Such figures are truly dizzying, making it challenging to even begin to learn about Brazilian animals. To help you cut through the clutter and focus on the species you are most likely to encounter, we have created this portable reference. It includes beautiful illustrations of 140 common mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and insects, as well as an ecoregion map showing some of the top wildlife-viewing hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, birders, and wildlife enthusiasts who wish to get better acquainted with Brazil's most familiar animals.
