How terrible is the dangerous Amazon rainforest?

The Amazon rainforest in South America is the largest rainforest in the world, covering an area of 5.5 million square kilometers, and is known as the "lung of the earth". At present, about 10% people in the world live in the Amazon rainforest. This is a beautiful and dangerous place.

There are more than 300 species of mosquitoes in Amazon. Because of the climatic environment and other factors in the rainforest, mosquitoes here are faster and bigger, not only biting out dense mosquito packs, but also spreading dengue fever and malaria with great probability. These two diseases are very serious, and if they are not treated in time, they will be life-threatening.

The Amazon rainforest spans eight countries. I'm sure you may not find your way if you go in casually. Getting lost in the virgin forest is really a terrible thing, and it is likely that you will encounter an accident and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Sharks? You may not believe it: sharks that can live in fresh water without being in the sea. At the entrance of the Amazon rainforest, there is a shark that attacks humans the most times-bull shark. This kind of shark likes to move in shallow water about 30 meters, and has caused at least 100 unprovoked attacks on human beings in history. It is far more deadly than the great white shark.

Blood-sucking bats in the Amazon rainforest, their front teeth are like sharp blades, which can quickly and accurately pierce the skin of sleepers without being noticed by humans. Their saliva can secrete an anticoagulant substance, which can prevent blood coagulation at the wound; At the same time, saliva also has anesthetic effect. So the wound will continue to bleed. Don't forget, bats are also hosts of many viruses.

The truly terrible and dangerous animals are usually not these huge animals, but those small and insignificant poisonous animals. Amazon wandering spider, body length 15cm, long hair all over. It only needs 10 mg of venom to poison 240 mice. Venom quickly enters the nervous system along the blood, causing arrhythmia and dyspnea, destroying the blood in the brain and causing severe headache.

In Amazon, a python with a body length of more than 10 meter and a weight of more than 400 kilograms is called a boa constrictor, and its mouth can be opened to nearly 180 degrees. Once wrapped around your body, you will die in a few minutes. In the ubiquitous rainforest river, boa constrictors quietly hide underwater, waiting for their prey to come to their doors. Once close, the boa constrictor will attack with thunder and quickly entangle its prey.

After the animals and plants in the Amazon rainforest are corrupted, the humid environment and high temperature will produce toxic miasma. Too much inhalation of this gas will lead to coma and even life-threatening in severe cases.

Unexpected dangers will happen in the Amazon rainforest anytime and anywhere, but scientists still reveal the last "Garden of Eden" on earth at the rate of discovering a species every four days.
