Brazil's great plains are home to some of South America's most extraordinary yet least known animals. From macaws to maned wolves, anacondas to jaguars, all must cope with the extremes of drought and flood that have shaped this land of extremes. With armour plated armadillos, crab eating foxes, bush dogs, flocks of crested screamers and giant anteaters, the savannahs are home to some of the continent's most extraordinary sights and sounds.
