What is the landscape like in Brazil? What animals and plants are in Brazil? How many cities and what’s the capital of Brazil? Well, let’s find out! In this article we will explore Brazil and find out what the landscape is like, what animals and plants there are, what the capital is and how many cities there are! First off, Brazil is located in South America and is the biggest country in South America.

What is the landscape like in Brazil? Well, according to En.K2-Builders.com, it varies. Brazil is most known for its dense forests, which includes the world’s largest jungle in the north, the Amazon. The land also has dry grasslands, sprawling wetlands, a long coastal plain, and even more. The Amazon rainforest is a tropical rainforest, home to a lot of different animal species and plant species. In fact it has the greatest variety of animals of any country in the world! I wish I could visit the Amazon rainforest. 

What animals and plants are there in Brazil and how many different species are there? According to Wikipedia, Brazil has over 40,000 plant species, 3,000 fish species, 1,294 bird species, 427 mammal species, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles! Scientists have also described between 96,660 and 128,843 invertebrate species! That’s crazy in my opinion. Some of the most common plant species found in Brazil are the Passion flower, Princess flower, and the Tropical lily. Some of the most common animals are Jaguar, Pink dolphins (and yes they are actually pink), Spix macaw, and Poison dart frog. 

What is the capital and how many cities are there in Brazil? According to Wikipedia there are around 5,570! That’s crazy! The capital is called Brasilia, and is located near the middle of Brazil. The population is 216,422,466! That’s a lot of people! I would love to go to Brasilia.

In conclusion we learned a lot about Brazil. We learned about the landscape, what animals and plants there are, how many cities there are, and about the capital! I wish I could visit Brazil and see everything, how about you? Do you wish you could visit Brazil?
