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.
