South American wildlife refers to the animals native to the continent, particularly its extraordinary biodiversity.
The Amazon rainforest alone harbors more species than any other ecosystem on Earth—jaguars, anacondas, capybaras, toucans, poison dart frogs, and countless others.
The documentary explored South American wildlife in the Pantanal wetlands.
The phrase often evokes conservation concerns, as habitat loss threatens many species.
