The Caatinga is a unique biome located in northeastern Brazil. It is characterized by its dry, semi-arid climate, with distinct seasons of drought and occasional heavy rainfall. The vegetation primarily consists of thorny shrubs, cacti, and small trees, adapted to survive in harsh conditions. This ecosystem is home to a variety of wildlife, including endemic species such as the Caatinga horned frog and the Brazilian three-banded armadillo. The region plays a crucial role in local culture and economy, supporting traditional practices like farming and livestock grazing.
