In this region rivers flow as Cuiabá and Mutum , this river of clear , fishy waters and great beauty . Rivers, savannahs and wetlands form a huge natural tourism potential , given the existence of areas still preserved and with loads of animals from the most varied . Among mammals still find the jaguar ( Panthera onca ) , the puma ( Felix concolor ) and otters (Pteronura brasiliensis) , thus showing the high degree of preservation.
Among birds include the Jacutinga ( Aburria cujubi , Red – throated Piping – Guan ) , the Ruddy mirror ( Claravis pretiosa , Blue Ground – dove ) , the Socó – beija-flor ( Agamia agami ; Agami Heron) , Uirapuru laranjado ( Pipra fasciicauda ; Band- tailed Manakin ) and the rare – Socó- zique-zaque ( Zebrilus undulatus ; Zigzag Heron) , which recorded the impressive vocalization .
