class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brazilian tapir has a fleshy, prehensile trunk, which the animals use to grasp objects such as leaves or act as a snorkel when they swim. The Brazilian tapir is the largest surviving terrestrial mammal in the Amazon, weighing around 200 kilograms and reaching up to 220 centimeters in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arara-azul_Hyacinth_macaw\"><\/span>Arara-azul (Hyacinth macaw)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hyacinth macaw is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species. Its feathers are cobalt-blue and the ring around its eyes and the area underneath its beak is a vibrant yellow. The hyacinth macaw is an endangered species due to the cage bird trade and deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ararajuba_Golden_parakeet\"><\/span>Ararajuba (Golden parakeet)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The golden parakeet is a medium-sized parrot, one of the endemic species of animals of Brazil. Its plumage is bright yellow with green in its outer wings. Just like the Hyacinth macaw, the Golden parakeet is also an endangered species due to the cage bird trade and deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animais-do-brasil-nativos.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animais-do-brasil-nativos.jpg\" alt=\"animais do brasil nativos\" class=\"wp-image-76144\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ariranha_Giant_Brazilian_otter\"><\/span>Ariranha (Giant Brazilian otter)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The giant otter is a carnivorous mammal. It is a social species, with family groups typically supporting three to eight members. They have water-repellent fur, short legs, and a long tail to propel them through the water. Furthermore, their big eyes and long whiskers help them detect prey in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boto-cor-de-rosa_Amazon_river_dolphin\"><\/span>Boto-cor-de-rosa (Amazon river dolphin)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazon river dolphin transforms from grey to pink as it ages. The Amazon river dolphin, also called the pink river dolphin, is the largest of the river dolphin species, reaching up to 245 centimeters long and 200 kilograms. Moreover, they have powerful flippers and tail flukes and a modified hump in place of a dorsal fin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indigenous people believe Amazon river dolphins are magical creatures that are able to take the form of a handsome human man to seduce villagers late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Capivara_Capybara\"><\/span>Capivara (Capybara)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The capybara is the largest living rodent in the world. They can be found in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/biodiversity-brazil\/\">Brazilian savanna<\/a>&nbsp;and dense forests near bodies of water. It is a highly social species, usually living in groups of 10 to 20 individuals. The capybaras are semi-aquatic mammals, closely related to guinea pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animales-de-brasil-nativos.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animales-de-brasil-nativos.jpg\" alt=\"animales de brasil nativos\" class=\"wp-image-76145\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fila_Brasileiro_Brazilian_Mastiff\"><\/span>Fila Brasileiro (Brazilian Mastiff)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the Brazilian Mastiff is not a wild animal, it is worth mentioning. The Brazilian Mastiff is a large working breed dog developed in Brazil. Because of their unique traits, they were primarily bred for being used as working and guard dogs, to protect cattle and plantations. It is known as Brazil\u2019s national dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jacu_Dusky-legged_guan\"><\/span>Jacu (Dusky-legged guan)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dusky-legged guan measures an average of 73 centimeters in length and weighs around 1.2 kilograms. They are a critical asset to tropical ecosystems because of their role in dispersing seeds in the forests. The Jacu coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world, is produced from beans collected from the feces of guans. These birds feast only on the very ripest coffee cherries produced in the forest shade. A bag containing 120 grams of Jacu coffee might cost around US$100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lobo-guara_Maned_wolf\"><\/span>Lobo-guar\u00e1 (Maned wolf)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The maned wolf is the largest canine in South America. It has long thin legs and a red coat. Its body is narrow and the ears are large and erect. Maned wolves are omnivorous and mostly inhabit the grasslands region of Brazil. The maned wolf is the picture of the newest R$200 bill in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animals-of-brazil-endemic.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animals-of-brazil-endemic.jpg\" alt=\"animals of brazil endemic\" class=\"wp-image-76146\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mico-leao-dourado_Golden_lion_tamarin\"><\/span>Mico-le\u00e3o-dourado (Golden lion tamarin)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The golden lion tamarin, also called the golden marmoset, has thick golden-red fur, a long tail, and agile movements. They are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/fauna-flora-nature-rio\/\">endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro<\/a>&nbsp;and are considered an endangered species due to the urbanization of the coastal area of Brazil. Additionally, the golden lion tamarin feeds on fruits, lizards, and insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Onca-pintada_South_American_jaguar\"><\/span>On\u00e7a-pintada (South American jaguar)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The South American jaguar is one of the most famous animals of Brazil. They are the third-largest cat in the world, and also the strongest. 90% of the population of South American jaguars live in the Pantanal, hunting for caimans, anteaters, and capybaras. Unlike most other big cats, the South American jaguar is not averse to water \u2014 they are actually very good swimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peixe-Boi-da-Amazonia_Amazonian_manatee\"><\/span>Peixe-Boi-da-Amaz\u00f4nia (Amazonian manatee)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazonian manatee is an aquatic mammal that lives exclusively in freshwater environments, specifically the Brazilian Amazon. It currently features on the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment\u2019s list as a species under threat of extinction. Hunters usually kill this animal for its abundant meat and oil. The Amazonian manatee is a herbivorous mammal, feeding exclusively on algae and aquatic plants. Nevertheless, the manatee can eventually weigh up to 300 kilograms and be as long as 2.5 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animals-of-brazil-animais-do-brasil-animales-de-brasil.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-0.caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/animals-of-brazil-animais-do-brasil-animales-de-brasil.jpg\" alt=\"animals of brazil animais do brasil animales de brasil\" class=\"wp-image-76147\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pica-pau-amarelo_Cream-colored_woodpecker\"><\/span>Pica-pau-amarelo (Cream-colored woodpecker)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cream-colored woodpecker is fairly common in the floodplain forest in the Amazon. They have pale creamy-yellow plumage, and sometimes brown feathers on their head and back. The cream-colored&nbsp;woodpecker feeds mainly on ants, termites, fruits, and seeds. The cream-colored woodpecker is famous in Brazil as the name for a popular series of fantasy novels by Brazilian author Monteiro Lobato, called S\u00edtio do Pica-Pau Amarelo (The Yellow Woodpecker Ranch). These books have also been adapted into films and several TV shows, very popular in Brazil since 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sucuri_Green_anaconda\"><\/span>Sucuri (Green anaconda)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The green anaconda is the heaviest and one of the longest snake species in the world, reaching up to 5 meters long. These anacondas can be found in the basins of the main Brazilian rivers. Life in the water helps support the anaconda\u2019s heavier weight and girth. This species is heavy and muscular. Moreover, they are nocturnal, terrestrial, aquatic, and non-venomous, feeding on birds, fishes, mammals, and reptiles. The digestion of a single meal can take two weeks or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tamandua-bandeira_Giant_anteater\"><\/span>Tamandu\u00e1-bandeira (Giant anteater)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The giant anteater has no teeth. However, their long tongues help them to lap up the ants and termites they eat. They often live in multiple habitats, including tropical and dry forests, savannas, and open grasslands. The giant anteater is not aggressive. However, when they are in danger, they rear up on their hind legs, using their tail for balance, and lash out with dangerous claws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tatu_Armadillo\"><\/span>Tatu (Armadillo)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Armadillos are barrel-shaped animals covered with natural armor. Brazil holds ten species of armadillo in its territory, including the giant armadillo (<em>tatu-canastra<\/em>), the nine-banded armadillo (<em>tatu-galinha<\/em>), the Brazilian three-banded armadillo (<em>tatu-bola<\/em>), and the greater long-nosed armadillo (<em>tatu-de-quinze-quilos<\/em>). Most of these species are omnivores, feeding on plants, fruits, insects, and larvae. Most species dig burrows and sleep up to 16 hours per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Caminhos Language Centre is the largest and most exciting Portuguese school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
