On Safari by Jeep
A jeep is safer if you are going to be out in the evening or at night. Again, our guide managed to not only spot an armadillo, but also to catch it so that we could have a close look at it.

We also had the amazing experience of looking for jacare (alligators) in the dark. If you shine a very strong torch out into the surrounding terrain, you can spot the jacare because their pairs of eyes shine red and orange in the dark. Its quite a sight to see literally dozens of pairs of eyes picked out by the torch.

When going on safari we were given an A4 sheet with 65 birds listed on one side of which we saw 44 and 28 animals on the other of which we saw 17. So you can be sure to see something when you go to Pantanal and what you do see will probably be quite unlike anything you have seen before!
