reading about a specific area which is going to be visited along with the animals which can be found is also suggested seeing as it helps keep travellers informed and in case of an emergency, one can know what to do.

here we talk about some of the exotic animals that one can find mostly in the greater rio de janeiro region - these creatures can be found generally in areas far from the frequented areas of the city.

an important plant to keep in mind is the jackfruit tree - in addition to tasting the world's largest fruit which is known to weight over 30 kilos (roughly 65 pounds), one should know that the producing tree can be found in various parts of the city.
