The amazon rain forest, just like any tropical rain forest is rich in animal species. Most of this species have not been discovered yet, considering that the rain forest is dense and still not fully explore.

Most of the animal's species found in the amazon are insects a whooping over 2 million insects. Remember that you will be going to the amazon, in the unlucky event that you get a bite from a crocodile, if you can! Press your thumb into his eyeballs, he will let go immediately. Is a real fact.

The best way to see the amazon rain forest is by the river, with a professional tour guide, where you should only visit friendly native villages and see how they live. All while you explore your surroundings in a never ending quest to find something undiscovered.
