How scary is the Amazon River? It is a paradise for animals, but a 'forbidden place' for humans
The earth is the planet on which human beings live. It has vast and boundless leylines and crystal clear lake water, which nourishes countless lives. As the master of the earth, human beings continue to open up new continents, and many unknown worlds appear one by one in people's sight, bringing people countless surprises and benefits, and everything is so wonderful. However, behind this beautiful appearance, there are many dangers hidden, once lost, you will fall into a doomed place, the most notable of which is the magical Amazon River.
The Amazon can be called the "pulmonary artery" of the earth. It occupies most of the tropical rain forest and is a paradise for animals and plants. The runoff of the Amazon River is about 7 times that of the Yangtze River and 123 times that of the Yellow River. The total area occupies about 40% of the entire South America and 20% of all the rivers flowing into the Haihe on earth. Such a huge range also makes Amazon full of infinite reverie. There are all kinds of paradises in the minds of some people, and at a glance, there are green and green shades everywhere. But Amazon is also known as a "forbidden place" for human beings?
Calmness, serenity, fragrant birds and flowers, and dense jungles are all praise words to describe the Amazon region. But what kind of face does Amazon look like after unveiling this beautiful veil? With the largest tropical rainforest in the world, there are many strange creatures living in the Amazon River. Every creature has a strong risk factor, and the competition here is very fierce, like a primitive zone. The most frightening ones are the Amazon black caiman, the Amazon piranha, the Amazon green anaconda, the Amazon electric eel, and the Arapaima, etc. So what's so special about these creatures? Perhaps it is only through personal experience that we can fully appreciate it.
The Amazon black caiman is super lethal, capable of catching any prey with its huge mouth. Experts estimate that the longest black caiman weighs 200 to 500 kilograms, which is more than ten times that of a normal person, and there have been many cases of caiman preying on humans in the Amazon, which is extremely terrifying. Piranhas, which seem to be small in size, have a large population. Once they step into the Amazon River, they will be surrounded by piranhas. The piranha, which is only about 14 to 26 centimeters in size, has sharp cobra-like teeth that can cut through any animal skin.
In addition to this, there is the Amazon electric eel. This electric eel is not an eel in the sea, it has a huge electric voltage itself. Adult electric eels can emit voltages between 300 and 800, which can instantly stun people. There is also the Amazonian green anaconda. Although it is not as large as the giant python in the wild python disaster, its weight can reach about 160 kilograms. It is the largest anaconda in the world today. It can devour animals larger than itself. Most of the anacondas lurk in the swampy land, and it can be seen that the Amazon is in danger everywhere.
All in all, Amazon is beautiful and gives the illusion of peace and tranquility, but there is always a crisis behind the beauty. This also confirms why the Amazon is a paradise for animals, but a forbidden place for humans. Perhaps, humans cannot adapt to the competition for survival in the animal kingdom, but is there no potential danger in our society? Life is full of sins and dangers. We must master the necessary skills for survival, act cautiously, and not be deceived by the surface of everything. We must learn to observe and learn to judge, just like living in the "Amazon River", the fittest survives.
