The Pantanal: Brazil’s Wild Heart - Wildest Latin America - Go Wild
In the centre of South America, a vast, wild expanse; the world’s largest wetland. But this is no ordinary swamp. Every year it’s drowned by immense floods, then parched by severe drought. Yet while people struggle to cope, the Pantanal hosts some of the greatest gatherings of animals on the planet, rivalling Africa’s spectacular wildlife.
As the dry season takes hold, caiman gather to breed and fish - forming the greatest concentration of reptiles on earth. Rare Giant River Otters have found refuge here and patrol the waterways in family packs. With so much food on offer, jaguars flourish - growing to be the largest in Latin America. Surviving groups of Bororo Indians join together in fishing parties, using age-old techniques to harvest the Pantanal’s riches. When the rains come the Pantanal sinks under 5m of water, and one of the world’s largest waterfalls, Foz do Iguacu, becomes a breath-taking spectacle.
Humans have never tamed this wild frontier. Permanent settlement is largely impossible - the climate’s extremes keep people at bay. The result is a natural abundance, unparalleled on the continent: a wild haven at the heart of South America.
This was awesome. Can't believe people live among all this wildlife. Crazy . So incredible what these animals go through.
Paul McGann Narrating!!!!! I don't need to know any more than that to know it'll be good.
The British voices seem to be the best ...although Keith David and James Earl Jones and yes Uma Thurman are also the BEST!
Don't forget David Attenborough
This is the 8th doctor narrating a nature documentary.
@@RyanGriffiths28 he is the King because of the british accent and the vintage touch also.
The engineering techniques of these people in fishing is superb.
I loved this doc! I live in Costa Rica but many of the sights and sounds are familiar. We don't have the capybara nor giant river otters here but we do have caiman, macaws and jaguars and the oropendula which is closely related to the cacique. Brazil and the Pantanal have always been fascinating to me and I hope to visit someday. Thank you again for another great piece on this fine channel. You have my subscription, admiration and support. Bless you all.
Honduras have La Mosquitia , the second largest Rain Forest in the Western Hemisphere. Is full of wild life and a lot of the areas is virgin untouched by humans.
@@acropolis2850not the same thing 😂 guys you have natives smarts, their is zero about natural in your jungles... All ruralized
1:02 „The only place on the continent to rival Africa for its spectacular wildlife“ Amazon Rainforest: Am I a joke to you?
Yes with regards to big animals you are amazon
Wonderful program 👍 Thank you.
Eu moro a 220km da capital São Paulo e aqui tem Onça Parda, Jacaré, Veado, Quati, Macaco, Lobo Guará, Capivara, Anaconda. O Brasil é recheado de FAUNA! Dos grandes, aqui só não tem Jaguar e Ariranha.
Absolutely wonderful. Why don't they educate the Ranchers not to keep the Jaguars from their land, when the majority of cattle deaths are killed by other causes. Thank 'God you are no longer allowed to kill these wonderful creatures which God has created.
love the background music
The Pantanal was great before but in the last 10 years it has been damaged. It was especially great for wild birds. But now …I hope something will remain and rains will keep coming.
@Sims 3 Forever Dude Exactly!! Come on, Brazil!
Beautiful 🇨🇦
Uhhh this is not Canada this is 🇧🇷
Beautiful.
I want to visit this place someday to see a Jaguar 🐆
O pantaneiro sabe, com Ariranha nem Onça se atreve. Na água, em seu habitat, são imbatíveis, a não ser pela malvada mão humana.
Awesome video thanks 👍💯👏⭐💥⚡
The music is too laud. You have to keep the TV really loud to be able to listen to the narrator
It's not "latin America " it's indigenous America. Tribal America. Old world America.
I don't think anyone south of the USA border is that woke. They live in the real world, you know where family comes first and survival is important, they know how to cook and are self sufficient...mhmm
I know the farmers and cattle men see it as a loss. Honestly it's the price you pay for moving in and taking over the territory.
@Go Wild, Incorrect aspect ratio.
The KZhead adds will demand you to be at your computer to skip commercials.

Beautiful images and nature, but the music is horrible that distract brrrrrr
"The females will know WHOM to pick" (not "who" to pick). I.e. The females will pick HIM (not "he"). Subject / object is basic grammar.

As much as i love the Panatanal animals, it no where near rivals the African wildlife like the narrator claimed. For the most part, Your top 5 animals in the Pantanal are Jaguars, Caiman, Capybara, Giant River Otters, and Anaconda. After that, the other animals are kinda boring, lol. With Africa, the list is endless. Elephants, Lions, Hippos, giraffes, crocs, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, and the list goes on and on. Really no comparison.
Tem mais animais interessantes como o Tamandua, Anta, e outros mas concordo com você. Apesar de ter maior Biodiversidade, é muito mais difícil ver os animais, na Africa é mais fácil.
I have to pet hyenas that I take care of❤
P
There is no animal on land, nor a bird flying with its wings, but are communities like you. We neglected nothing in the Scripture. Then to their Lord they will be gathered
Llllllll
Excellent video. Have background in biological sciences. Been to Angel falls and Victoria falls. Never knew of these falls. I condone this video and go wild.. grateful narration Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️🌵☮️🌞🐟 yes I keep on keeping on Africa
