Hey Robal,
You know these things better than me.
I had no idea that the Jaguar and the Ype were national symbols.

Hi Ron.
They're the national animal and the national tree of Brazil. The 50 real bill has the handsome jaguar on it. I'm sure you know the Ype amarelo. The numerous yellow flowers in full bloom has a very distinctive contrast with the
dark green leaves depicting again the verde e
amarelo colors of Brazil.
