Tree-dwelling species, Brazilian Squirrels are diurnal and live high on top of trees, subsisting primarily on fruits and insects, making excellent seed dispersers as they cover large distances and like to carefully bury seeds as the critically endangered Araucaria trees (Araucaria angustifolia) on the ground.

Bamboos are members of the grass family and play a vital role in tropical and temperate forests. If you are interested in visiting the Atlantic Rainforest and would like to learn more about our nature-related tours, please contact us.

Lowland Pacas (Cuniculus paca) are the second largest rodent species in Brazil. They inhabit humid environments, along running waters in tropical forests. Terrestrial and nocturnal animals, Lowland Pacas live in holes on the ground, usually building escape emergency exits to their burrows.
