Bicho do Mato is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo between 8 May and 17 November 1972, running for 141 episodes. It was preceded by Meu Pedacinho de Chão and succeeded by A Patota, being the second 6 PM telenovela broadcast by TV Globo.
It was created by Chico de Assis and Renato Corrêa de Castro, and directed by Moacyr Deriquém. It was produced in black and white.
It stars Osmar Prado, Débora Duarte, Beth Barcellos, Pedro Paulo Rangel, Luís Delfino, José de Arimathéa, Ruth de Souza and Sandra Bréa as the main characters.
Similarly to a large part of programs produced before 1975 by TV Globo, it was completely lost in a fire which affected TV Globo's collection in 1976, and only teasers and behind-the-scenes images survive.
