on fish. It is mostly harmless to human beings.
-
Pantanal’s
biggest fish is called the jaú, a kind of giant cafish, weighing up
to 120 kg and reaching 1.5 meters in length.
-
The
Pantanal region is home to a large variety of trees and bushes (1.647
species) and a highly diversified fauna, with 263 fish species, 122
mammal species, 93 reptile, 1.132 butterflies and 656 bird
species.
-
The
annual floods reach approximately 80% of the Pantanal area,
transforming the region into an impressive giant blanket of water,
driving away part of the rural population, which temporarily migrates
to nearby towns or villages.
-
The
Pantanal region attracts around 700,000 tourists a year, 65% of which
are fishermen.
-
The
total area in the Pantanal (totaling 210,000 square kilometers,
including its parts in Paraguay and Bolivia) is equal to the sum of
the areas of four European countries (Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal
and the Netherlands.
-
The
spotted jaguar from the Pantanal weighs up to 150 kg, feeding on
approximately 85 different species that inhabit the region.

The
Pantanal region in Brazil has 144.294 km2 of lowlands subject to
floods, 61.9% (89,318 km2) of which located in the Mato Grosso do Sul

In
the year 2000, UNESCO recognized the Pantanal biome as a Biosphere
Reserve. These reserves are used for integrated sustainable management
and administration, under the jurisdiction of the countries where they
are located.
-
The
small difference in level between terrains in the region is mostly
responsible for the regular flooding in the Pantanal. Moreover, this
causes the Paraguay River to flow very slowly. A canoe left on the
river would take six months to be taken across the Pantanal by the
flow of the river.
-
Every
24 hours, nearly 178 billion liters of water enter the Pantanal
plain.
-
Every
year, rivers carry around 50 million tons of dirt and sand into the
Pantanal. Only a third of that material leaves the region, which ends
up causing a residue accumulation that alters riverbeds and increases
the flooded surface.
-
There
are more bird species in the Pantanal (656 species) than in North
America (which has around 500 species), and more freshwater fish
species than in Europe (263 against approximately 200).
