South America, like Africa, has a mammal “big five” that wildlife watchers dream of seeing. Giant Otter, Brazilian Tapir, Giant Anteater, Maned Wolf and Jaguar are the most sought after mammals in the bird continent. With effort, a judicious itinerary and a dose of luck, the Pantanal Bird Club offers a good chance of clapping eyes on the entire quintet. But even without these five biggies, the Pantanal provides the continent’s best mammal watching, with most visitors enjoying close views of a wide variety of species. Are you interested? Join us in these dates: JULY 22nd-31st; AUGUST 18th-29th; SEPTEMBER 23rd-02th. More information and detailed itinerary at www.pantanalbirdclub.org
