About Emas National Park
The surrounding area is dominated by large soybean plantations. Emas National Park shows a typical cerrado ecosystem: a treeless savannah with tall termite mounds and an interesting amount of wildlife: the giant anteater, the maned wolf, giant armadillo, pampas deer, and the greater rhea, among others. Emas National Park also holds a small jaguar population, perhaps consisting of about 10-12 animals. Only about 40% of the reserve, which covers 1,320 km² (510 sq mi) in total, is good jaguar habitat. Other larger mammals include puma, ocelot, Brazilian tapir, collared peccary, white-lipped peccary, marsh deer, red brocket, gray brocket, black howler monkey and capybara. It has a tropical, hot climate, ranging from humid to semi-arid, with up to five months of drought each year.
