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.

• The first book to cover the best areas to search for particular wildlife specialities – and to give tips on how to find, identify and enjoy them

• Written by a South American wildlife expert, it includes entertaining snippets on behaviour and biology

• 80% of the Pantanal falls within Brazil, whose foreign tourism increased by 20% from 2002 to 2006
