Spectacular wildlife in Pantanal, Brazil by Robert O’Toole

Brazil’s Pantanal is one of earth’s most biologically rich areas and truly spectacular photography destination.

It was my first trip here and I have to say the photographic opportunities in the Pantanal were even better than I expected.

This is one of the best locations if not the best location on earth to photograph jaguar.
