Meet the Species of the Pantanal
Interact with 3D models of key species such as the jaguar, caiman, capybara and hyacinth macaw. Discover their behaviours, ecological roles and the threats they face in a changing environment.
Meet the Capybara
The capybara is the world’s largest rodent and an iconic species of the Pantanal. Highly social and semi-aquatic, capybaras play an important ecological role in maintaining wetland vegetation. As a keystone species, they support predators like jaguars and caimans. Their survival is closely tied to the health of riverbanks and aquatic ecosystems.
With its long snout and powerful claws, the giant anteater is a specialist feeder that helps regulate insect populations. It roams vast areas of grasslands and forests, making it especially vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and roadkill. The species is classified as vulnerable and highlights the need for landscape-level conservation.

Meet the Hyacinth Macaw
With its striking blue feathers, the hyacinth macaw is the largest parrot species in the world. Endemic to South America and dependent on specific tree species for nesting, this bird is a conservation icon. Habitat loss and illegal trade continue to threaten its survival, making protection efforts crucial.
The giant otter is one of the Pantanal’s most endangered mammals. Known for its strong family bonds and loud vocalisations, this predator relies on clean, undisturbed rivers to hunt and raise its young. Protecting their habitat also safeguards broader aquatic biodiversity and water quality.

Meet the Caiman
The Yacare caiman is a crocodilian species essential to the Pantanal’s food web. Once heavily hunted for its skin, its population has rebounded due to conservation efforts. Caimans contribute to ecological balance and also serve as bioindicators of water quality and wetland health.
The jaguar is a top predator and a powerful symbol of the Pantanal’s biodiversity. It plays a vital role in balancing prey populations and maintaining ecosystem health. The Pantanal holds one of the highest densities of jaguars in the world, yet these majestic cats face growing threats from deforestation and human conflict.
