We came to the Pantanal to film jaguars in the wild - and we were not disappointed. But we were blown away by the diversity and abundance of wildlife in these little-known wetlands. Many of the animals we encountered are unique to this part of the world and new to us as wildlife photographers, including anteaters, armadillos, tapirs, capybaras, caimans, coatis, giant river otters and crab-eating raccoons. It is also host to some of the world's most beautiful birds, like the hyacinth macaw, jabiru, toucan, spoonbill, acari, little blue heron, curassow, caracara, ringed kingfisher and others.
