The Amazon River, located in northern South America, is the river with the largest flow, basin and most tributaries in the world. Since the method of measuring the length of the river is inconclusive, there are many different opinions on the length of the Amazon River, one of which is the common 6400
Kilometers. The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world and the river with the largest flow in the world. It is wider than the English Channel in some places and has more than 15,000 tributaries.
After arriving in Belém, they separated. They chatted a lot along the way, which really opened Owen's eyes and gained him a lot of knowledge. Oh no, it was knowledge.
Kroll and the others left, and the film crew had their own shooting plan. Irving and the others were originally planning to find a local tour group, but they immediately gave up the idea after talking to veterans like Kroll. In their words,
, local tour groups are basically misleading, taking them to some developed places, which are not interesting. If you want to truly appreciate the charm of the Amazon, you still have to go on your own.
In the end, Irving found a local guide who offered them $50,000 to take them on a five-day trip. This price not only included the guide service, but the other party also provided a boat and other basic supplies. Even so, it was still expensive, but Irving had the money now and gave it to him.
If you have more money, the other party will naturally provide better services.
"Adrian, do you recommend any good equipment stores nearby?"
Adrian is the local guide they hired, a Caucasian, whose full name is Adrian Ambrosio. He has a complete set of basic equipment on the boat, but Owen still decided to buy some personal equipment. He was not happy with his bare hands.
Practical.
"Of course, the things in old Arthur's store are good. I'll take you there and you can get friendly prices."
Adrian took Owen and Monica to an equipment store. Owen chose two Ontario mk3 naval knives. He did not bring his own claw knives when he flew here this time, and the claw knives are not suitable for jungle environments.
In addition to two mk3s, Owen also bought two kukri knives, commonly known as dog-leg knives, which are very useful for cutting paths in the jungle.
In addition, there are two small pockets, which contain some gadgets that he compiled according to his training as a seal, including quick-acting dysentery medicine, water purification tablets, condoms, hemostatic medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, mosquito repellent, etc. These things cost a total of
His price was 1,500 US dollars, which was Adrian's so-called friendly price. Owen didn't care anymore. Maybe things in the scenic area were more expensive.
Saying goodbye to old Arthur who had made a fortune, Owen and Monica found a hotel for one night. The next day, they finally embarked on the adventure they had dreamed of.
The weather in Brazil is good, but it rains frequently. Adrian's boat is traveling in the main river, and from time to time you can see those open-top sightseeing boats that look like motorboats. If they choose a tour group, they will definitely be one of them.
member.
The Amazon jungle has lush vegetation. It is known as the lungs of the earth and is full of lush plants. It contains the world's richest and most diverse biological resources, including millions of species of insects, plants, birds and other species.
Many of them have not yet been recorded in science.
Adrian is a competent guide, at least worthy of his price. In addition to driving the boat, he has been giving constant introductions along the way. At this point, Monica's rich knowledge is not enough. Many of the things Adrian mentioned about her are
Never seen it.
"Wow~~~, look at those monkeys, so cute..."
Monica, who had been taking pictures everywhere with her camera, suddenly let out a scream of surprise, and then there was a constant clicking sound. Owen followed the direction she pointed and saw a very small monkey holding a bigger one.
The little monkey is by the river, and the big monkey is bathing the little monkey.
This kind of monkey has a slender face, gray-brown hair, alternating light and dark spots on the back, long hair on the temples, and short ears. The most important thing is that their body size is really very small. Coupled with their appearance, it looks like
It looks cute and has natural lethality on women.
"Those are marmosets, also known as bird monkeys and squirrel monkeys. Since the 17th century, these marmosets have been kept as pets by people. They mainly eat insects and some fruits. Pygmy marmosets are among the currently discovered marmosets.
The smallest monkey is only a little over 12 centimeters tall and weighs no more than 150 grams. They mainly live in the Amazon rainforest. They look very similar to squirrels. They usually live on extremely small plant branches and run around in the woods.
.”
Adrian immediately stepped into the role of guide after seeing Monica's reaction. He seemed to know the animals here very well. As he said, those marmosets are indeed about the same size as squirrels and are probably the smallest monkeys in the world.
Adrian controlled the boat slowly to the shore so that Monica could observe the marmosets more closely. The marmosets were not afraid of people, so they just looked at the people on the boat, especially the little one.
He looked at several humans curiously with his two bright black eyes.
Monica laughed like a silver bell and gave some close-ups of two monkeys, one big and one small.
"Dear, have you seen that these monkeys are not afraid of people at all, and the monkey mother doesn't seem to be worried at all that we will hurt her children..."
Monica said happily, and Adrian corrected on the side: "No, that's not the mother, that's the father. In a marmoset family, the father generally takes on more work. After the female monkey gives birth to a newborn monkey, only after
They only hold them for a while when feeding, and the male marmoset usually takes care of the babies. In addition to feeding the babies himself, the male marmoset is also responsible for bathing them."
"Oh, they're gone, they're gone, let's catch up and see..."
Seeing the monkey father leaving with the baby monkey, Monica was anxious to go ashore. Owen looked at Adrian, who had no objection.
Before the journey began, Adrian had repeatedly warned that although they were the sponsors, they must listen to him in the Amazon rainforest because it was full of dangers.
The boat slowly docked. Adrian fixed the boat and the three of them got ashore. However, the monkeys had long since disappeared. Monica was in high spirits and was not disappointed. In addition to cute monkeys, there were a lot of them in the rainforest.
The flora and fauna deserve her photo opportunities.
"Pause, let me emphasize a few points..."
Seeing Monica heading deeper, Adrian stopped the team.
Owen and Monica stopped, and Adrian said from the side: "There are a few things you must remember. In the rain forest, don't pick up dead branches on the ground. Vipers and cobras like to hide under them, and sometimes even
, a pit viper looks like a dry branch. In addition, never hold on to the trunk of a tree, no matter how tired you are. You must have heard of bullet ants and wandering spiders, which are everywhere in the Amazon jungle.
Animals use poison to defend themselves, and even caterpillars are no exception. Although being bitten by these things is not necessarily fatal, it will cause you pain for the whole day..."
Adrian said it very seriously, and then he motioned the two of them to look carefully at the tree trunk. Owen and Monica got closer and found that there were indeed many insects crawling on the black trunk, and there was a strip of color on the leaves not far away.
Bright caterpillars. People who often watch Animal Planet know that in the rainforest, the brighter the animals, the more toxic they are. Looking at the bright orange-red color of the caterpillar, Owen and Monica shuddered. This rainforest
