The shape of Brasilia is also described as a dragonfly or a bird, not just an airplane.

"Majuli, in the Brahmaputra River in India, being non-coastal and being between two channels of one river, is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as world's largest example,[1] but Ilha do Bananal meets the same qualifications and is much larger.[2]"

Although it is an imponent and strong symbol for us brazilian people, the Jaguar is not the official animal of Brasil. The closest we got to an official animal is the Sabiá-laranjeira, a bird defined as brazilians official national bird in 2002 via decree by the current president Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
