This is the cerrado biome exhibit at Belo Horizonte zoo. It houses a couple of gray brocket deers, a couple of greater rheas, two giant anteaters, and a few tapirs. The place is a little larger than an acre (near 5.000 m2/53.819ft2), has five pools (two big ones and three smaller ones).

Baby caiman rescued from the traffic. He's living in the old caiman pond with amazon turtles (Podocnemis expansa) and some Geoffroy's side-necked turtles (Phrynops geoffroanus). Hope he will be soon joining the zoo's caiman group in the main exhibit.
