Third in the six-part repeated series exploring the extraordinary wildlife and wild places of South America.
Great Plains. The vast grasslands rival those of Africa and are home to strange animals, including giant anteaters, capybara and armadillos, who all have to survive the extreme weather conditions that have shaped the region into one of the most beautiful places on the continent.
