Brazil: A Natural History

The Mata Atlantica, a little known forest in Brazil, is home to South America's largest monkey, swifts that fly through waterfalls, and birds that take 10 years to learn the right dance moves.

The center of the Brasil is covered with immense arid plains exposed to storms and fire in the summer.

The Pantanal, a region in the western part of the country that has marshes and rivers, hides a large part of the Brazilian bio-diversity.

Humpback whales approach the southern coast where flamingos feed, while other birds prepare to migrate.

The largest rainforest in the world is shaped by the floods of the Amazon river.
