Human forbidden zone full of unknown dangers! How scary is the mysterious Amazon rainforest?

With spaceships, humans can explore the universe; with the Jiaolong submarine, people can explore the ocean. But even if you are armed to the teeth, you may not be able to walk out of the Amazon rainforest alive.

In 1983 , a British boy named Allen resolutely chose to go to the Amazon jungle to explore alone despite the dissuasion of his family.

Allen has some experience in wild survival, so he hired two guides and bought a dog before setting off. Unexpectedly, the two guides wanted to murder for money when they saw that Alan was spending a lot of money . Allen had to run away with the dog. Three days later, Alan was discovered by a scientific expedition team and was successfully rescued, but the dog he brought was not so lucky.

So, when you come to the Amazon rainforest, the first problem you face is not food and water, but the locals here.

There are a lot of indigenous people and gang members in the Amazon rainforest. These people are cunning and savage, and they have weapons in their hands. Whether we outsiders are hostile or not, in their eyes we are all helpless prey.

In addition, you have seen snow and rain, but have you seen mosquitoes?

There are more than 300 species of mosquitoes living in the Amazon . The overwhelming number of mosquitoes hovers in the air all the time. The climate here is humid and the air is stuffy, but it is indeed a treasured place for mosquitoes.

These mosquitoes are big, fast and hard to watch out for. Accidental bites can spread dengue fever and malaria. Don't underestimate these mosquitoes, sometimes they are more deadly than tigers, leopards and wolves.

Just be careful where you step while dodging these mosquitoes, because you will encounter something even scarier.

strange creature

A palm tree grows in the Amazon rainforest. They grow new adventitious roots every year in order to get sunlight in the bushes. These extended roots act as the palm tree's "feet" and help them move where they can reach the sun.

Therefore, when you get here, don’t trust the so-called tour guides and locals. Apart from other things, the locals are not sure that they can remember the way.

Someone may choose to walk along the river, which can not only obtain water resources, but also discern the direction. But I have one warning for you: watch out for the sharks.

This kind of shark is called the bull shark . Its body length can reach 1.5 to 2.2 meters, and the largest individual is close to 3 meters. It is widely distributed around 40 degrees north and south latitude. It is the only shark in the world that can survive in freshwater rivers and even lakes. Unexpectedly, in the tropical rainforest, you will face the threat of sharks.

While paying attention to your feet, you still can't ignore the threat from the sky.

There is a vampire bat in the Amazon rainforest . Bats in our impression are more afraid of people, as long as we don't provoke it, it will not take the initiative to attack humans. But this bat is different.

Ordinary vampire bats will only choose to suck the blood of large herbivores, but don't forget that there are no large herbivores in the Amazon rainforest. This also means that intruding humans are the best food for vampire bats.

When you sleep, vampire bats will fall on you silently, even if you are wearing thick clothes , their teeth can easily pierce your clothing and penetrate your skin. Because of this, the vampire bat in the Amazon is also known as the "flying monster".

By the way, there is also a spider in the Amazon called the Amazon giant bird-eating spider, which is recognized as the largest spider in the arachnid class.

Their average foot span is 24 centimeters, not too big or too small, just enough to cover your face , can you imagine that scene?

But don't worry, although they are called bird-eating spiders, they only like to eat insects, and they don't know how to eat people. But don't mess with them either, as these spiders are also poisonous.

jaguar

Many people are afraid of the army ants and piranhas in the Amazon rainforest, but in fact these creatures are not as scary as in the movies. The real horror is still the suppression of body size.

The jaguar is a large cat , also known as the jaguar because of its spotted pattern. Strictly speaking, the jaguar is neither a tiger nor a leopard, but a separate subgenus, Subgenus Jaguar. Among cats, the size is second only to lions and tigers.

Adult jaguars weigh more than 60 kilograms and can grow up to 180 kilograms. It is about 1.5 meters long and lives in tropical rainforests and swamps.

Its coat color is very suitable for hiding in the rainforest. Maybe you're on your way and there's a hungry jaguar lurking in the bushes next to you.

The moment it launches an attack, the 1,200-pound bite force will immediately be applied to your neck, and then the 200-pound body will press heavily on your body. Although there are not many jaguars in the Amazon rainforest, once they encounter one, their survival depends entirely on God's will.

Finally, there is the climate of the Amazon. The Amazon rainforest accounts for 60% of the total rainforest area on Earth. Affected by equatorial low pressure, the weather in the Amazon rainforest is extremely unstable. Maybe the sky was clear one second, and it was pouring rain the next.

There are many rains and many rivers. Ordinary big rivers and rivers are fine, but once you encounter a dark river, it looks like weeds on the surface, but it is actually a dark tide . If you accidentally step on it, you will never be able to climb out again.

Now people have destroyed nearly one-fifth of the Amazon rainforest, including humans who have strayed into the Amazon rainforest, and have avoided the most dangerous places in the Amazon rainforest.

People still don't know how terrifying the Amazon rainforest is. They only know that it is a genuine "forbidden place for humans".
