Five
expeditions set out in search of the Big Five of South America, five rare
species only found on this continent: The Jaguar
is the world's third-largest feline, which was long in danger of extinction.
The Anaconda can grow to thirteen
feet in length, but is only found in a few places in South America. The Andean Bear is the only bear native to
South America, who roamed North America as well before the last ice age. The Giant Otter inhabits the Amazon
estuary. And the Ant-Eater is a
nomadic plains dweller.
The
expedition consisting of zoologists and conservationists, local guides and the
camera team set out on an arduous journey, leaving the last settlements far
behind to track down the rare beasts and figure out how to preserve their
habitats in the wilds.
