Brazil´s Diversity
View allAll Photos Tagged BRAZIL
Despite its name, the Brazilian Tanager is not, quite, endemic to the lowlands of the Atlantic Forest biome of eastern Brazil, being also found in extreme northeast Argentina. Males are impossible mistake, being brilliant scarlet-red with a black tail and wings, and a very obviously pale mandible to the bill. Females, on the other hand, are less distinctively plumaged and recall, to some extent, females of other Ramphocelus tanagers, or even some Tachyphonus, but are generally much redder over the underparts than any similar species. There is no known overlap with the congeneric and much more widespread Silver-beaked Tanager (Ramphocelus carbo), which is substantially darker in both sexes than the present species, although the two probably come close in various parts of eastern Brazil. doi.org/10.2173/bow.bratan1.01

the Brazilian Ruby is endemic to Brazil, where it generally occurs from Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul, and it occurs in wooded areas of all types in the Atlantic Forest region, to at least 2,000 m. Both sexes of this hummingbird are attractive and distinctive. Males are primarily clad in deep green, with a brilliant deep red throat patch, a small but obvious white postocular spot, browner wings, and a bright red tail, while females share the spot behind the eye and the tail color of the male, but are otherwise rich orange over the entire underparts and on the rump.
Have a Peaceful Day!

Ilha Grande is a tropical paradise a couple of hours off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. It is part of the city Angra dos Reis which belongs to Costa Verde or the "green coast". From beaches to jungle treks, there is something for everyone here. Boat tours are a common tourist activity and all the locals earn their living through the tourism industry.
We were surprised to spot this tapir on the riverbank. Even more startled than we were, he turned to run, then paused to face us before disappearing into the brush.
Tapirs are large plant-eating animals of Central and South America, and Southeast Asia. There are four types: Brazilian, Malayan, Baird's, and mountain tapirs. They have a long, flexible snout to grab leaves and fruit, and are related to horses and rhinos. Tapirs are great swimmers and use water to escape danger or cool off. They are usually shy, active at night, and prefer to live alone. Sadly, all tapir species are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
