Wildlife in the Amazon
If you are thinking about Jaguars hunting in
the dark, Iguanas sloppily moving up a tree trunk, or the Anacondas crunching
the bones of its prey, it has to be the thick dense rainforests of The Amazon.
One of the largest biodiversity hotspot in the world and home to over 2000
species which accounts to about a third of the entire world species. Some of
which are found exclusively in the Amazonian rainforest. These jungles are deep
and dense, partly impenetrable and cover almost half of the South America. No matter
how dangerous the Amazon forests are to us, they are home to thousands of
varied wildlife species, out of which some are yet to be discovered as they
discreetly hide in the Amazon forests. Take a sneak peak at some of the Stars
of this ‘tinseltown’.
Amazonian Mammals
The Amazon is home to more than 300 species of
mammals some of which are endemic to the Amazon alone. Some are super-fast some
are lazy and slow moving, some are harmless herbivores while some are
carnivores. Some prefer trees and some prefer water. Whatever types they
are, these beautiful creatures are rare and the Amazon extends to them a humble
abode. Bats and Rodents are the most widespread species in the amazon and
famous for attacking and killing the tribes in the forest. Cats like Jaguar,
Jaguarundi, and ocelot are the famed habitants of the ostentatious jungles of
the Amazon.

Amazonian Birds
You can find some of the most exotic species of
birds in the Amazon. The jungles in this part of the world are home to some
rare and colourful birds which are exclusive to Amazon. Believe it or not, the
Amazon Basin is home to 1500 bird species, while South America houses roughly
one third of the entire world’s bird population. Some of them gather in
thousands, like the celebrated Macaws or the Toucans and it is indeed a
spectacular and vibrant looking picture to see them in flocks. These birds
nibble on seeds, fruits and minerals found typically in the Amazon to clean the
toxins. They believe in healthy lifestyle!!

Amazonian Amphibians
The damp climate of the forests in the Amazon
breeds a variety of slimy and poisonous amphibians. You need to watch out for
these vicious creatures because they may be small and camouflaged by nature but
are poisonous enough to kill humans. They thrive in abundance in the marshy
lowlands waiting to attack their prey. The Poison Dart Frog or ‘jumping
marvels’ are the most colourful tiny frogs found here, but do not go by their
appearance as some of them are potential enough to kill up to ten humans at
once. The other amphibian exclusively found in the Amazon is the Horned Frog
that has a peculiarly broad mouth and swallows anything that passes by,
sluggish fella!!

Amazonian Reptiles
The reptiles of the Amazon are the most
dangerous species alive. They are colossal and hefty and take the life out of
their prey within seconds. It is said there are many reptile species breathing
in the Amazon but most of them are still undiscovered. The most common are the
Boa, Anaconda, Green Iguana etc. while most of them are carnivores the Green
Iguana is true blue Vegan!
