	Campo Grande / Caiman Lodge

This is a very small glimpse. Boca da Onça. A splendid waterfall destination in the Pantanal

This is the jacare. A croc who has a very big family in the pantanal. You will see many of these toothy animals here.

A Jag is not just a fancy car. See the fabulous animal the car was named after.

Additional Info
Capybara and Butterflies Brazil is the home of some of the most unusual animals on this planet. People on other continents could hardly believe these creatures or their diversity. The fellow on the left is a capybara. A very large rodent that can sometimes reach 120#'s or larger. It is a very good swimmer and eats veggies. The Vatican declared this animal to be non meat, so in some contries it is a favorite during lent. In Venezuela they say, "No capy for easter would be like no turkey for thanksgiving." The meat is rather expensive, low in fat, white like pork, and has a slightly fishy taste. The skin makes a very fine leather and is said a wallet made from this material is pick pocket proof!		Caiman Lodge is an excellent eco-tourism destination for the pantanal region.
