O Sertão Que Vira PANTANAL Todo Ano E o Brasil NÃO SABE! 🌵🦆 - NÃO É DESERTO EP 18

Every year, between January and May, the Sertão disappears. Not the Sertão of drought. The Sertão of the collective imagination. The cracked earth, the gray mandacaru cactus, the colorless horizon. Between January and May, this Sertão vanishes beneath dense green, rivers that didn't exist two weeks ago, flocks of ducks and mallards streaking across the sky of a region that Brazil still insists on calling a desert. In this episode, Bioma Vivo shows what happens when the Caatinga floods. Aerial images before and after the rains. The intermittent rivers that awaken in torrential downpours in the basins that feed the São Francisco River. And the birds that almost no one knows exist in the semi-arid region: the whistling duck, the crested duck, the spotted moorhen, the spotted rail, the Brazilian teal, the black-backed stilt. The Sertão doesn't turn into a wetland by accident. It's a system that took millions of years to perfect. And Brazil still hasn't learned to see it. ───────────────────────────── INDEX ───────────────────────────── 00:00 — The backlands that Brazil doesn't know 01:30 — The aerial metamorphosis: before and after the rains 03:00 — The phantom rivers that awaken 04:30 — Mixed flocks of ducks and Ducks in the backlands 06:00 — Birds hidden on the flooded banks 07:30 — The underground army: the little toad awakens 09:00 — The black-backed mosquito and the soundtrack of the flooded backlands 10:00 — What happens when the sun returns ───────────────────────────── BIRDS OF EPISODE ───────────────────────────── ▸ White-faced Whistling Duck — Dendrocygna viduata ▸ Crested Duck — Sarkidiornis sylvicola ▸ Spotted Moorhen — Pardirallus maculatus ▸ Long-legged Rail — Rallus longirostris ▸ Brazilian Teal — Amazonetta brasiliensis ▸ Black-backed Stilt — Himantopus Melanurus ───────────────────────────── SOURCES AND RESEARCH ───────────────────────────── ▸ INSA — National Institute of the Semi-Arid Region, Caatinga water dynamics ▸ CBRO — Brazilian Committee of Ornithological Records ▸ BirdLife International — Conservation status of species ▸ ANA — National Water Agency, intermittent rivers of the semi-arid region ───────────────────────────── SERIES IT'S NOT A DESERT ─────────────────────────────    • As Alianças SECRETAS que Sustentam a CAATI...   ist=PLVy1V5PBfqVpROX_Y_j-FLG9CeecP0bbY&pp=sAgC ───────────────────────────── ABOUT THE CHANNEL ───────────────────────────── The Living Biome is a channel of scientific documentaries about Brazilian biomes.
