The vegetation
The Pantanal consists, of an interesting mosaic of different land forms this one everyone is scattered all over over the immense level. She, everybody complete the great neighbouring biospheres, that one of "Cerrado" (bush savanna) and the Amazon rain forest, in his special way, plants and animals, such as the Burití palm and the Victoria-Regia waterlily, mix the "Capivara" water pig and the blue Hyazyinth macaw. Far away the "Caatinga" usually also has her representatives, although in the northeast of Brazil in the Pantanal particularly on the heights of the surrounding mountains and in the hilly country, such as the cactus species "Mandacarú". Far away the "Caatinga" usually also has her representatives, although in the northeast of Brazil in the Pantanal particularly on the heights of the surrounding mountains and in the hill landscape, such as the cactus species "Mandacarú". Campos
A landscape frequent in the Pantanal. Finding both in inundated areas and in higher and dry areas. The "Camposes" are cleaner in the inundation areas, continuance with different species of grass and only few trees or bushes. Wild animals and cattle graze there in a peaceful community during the dry season. The "Campos Cerradoss" develop with the typical vegetation of the neighbouring ecosystem in the higher regions: crippled trees with a thick bark rise from the middle of different grasses. Matas
As an interruption between the low vegetation of the Campos we find the pieces of woodland. One mentions her "to Matas ciliares" here the so-called gallery woods, accompany the course of the rivers to the two sides. You love the humidity which they can store in an immediate proximity of the watercourses over the whole year (they protect the rivers from erosion). Besides that the "Capões de Matas" have to be named: Pieces of woodland with firm old trees which remind of an Amazon rain forest idyll. You prefer more highly a situated land with the more fertile ground. These "Capões" have names like "Carandazal" depending on preferential tree population if the majority of the trees consists "of Carandas", or "Acurizal", if most of the trees "Acuris" are, or "Piuval", if are in the the "Piuvas" pay too much for.
