The Amazon.
The Amazon Rainforest covers 2.124 million square miles of Brazil, Columbia, Peru and other countries of the continent of South America. And is the largest rainforest on Earth, and is home to 10% of all life on Earth, and the highest biodiversity of any land habitat.
And has the Amazon River which is 3,977 miles long, and is the 2nd longest river in the world after the Nile in Africa.
And it's home to many creatures, like countless insects, many mammals like Capybaras, the world's largest rodent, Giant Otters, and the top predator, the Jaguar. Lots of species of monkeys, and tapirs. And to many birds like macaws, as well as hummingbirds.
And homed to many reptiles like caiman, crocodiles, Boa Constrictors, Bushmasters, Fer-De-Lances, and including the heaviest living snake, the Green Anaconda. As well as many amphibians like Poison Dart Frogs.
And even fish like the large Arapaima, freshwater stingrays, Electric Eels, and the fearsome piranha.
Even Bull Sharks have been sighted travelling upriver.
And homed to Amazon River Dolphins.
The Amazon, like the other world's jungles, is in danger of disappearing. Loggers and deforestation still continue to clear many of it's trees, and could degrade into a dry savannah in less than 10 years time if it continues. And with it, countless species vanishing forever.
Which is why the Amazon needs to be protected, so it's biodiversity lives, and helps in the fight against climate change.
