Once upon a time there were two friends. They love adventure in the forest. They live in Brazil and now studying zoology at the university. John Simpson and Jacob Johnson are good friends since childhood living in Sao Paolo. John Simpson is 23 years old and Jacob Johnson is 30 years old. Both of them had good knowledge of the adventures in Amazon. They decided to start an adventure trip to Amazon forest. They had climbed mountains and they are trained in trekking expeditions.
One day John said, “Hi Jacob, do you want to organize one week trip to Amazon?”
Jacob replied, “But we need finance for this trip. Who will finance?”
John said, “ I know a rich man in my neighborhood who had done adventures in his youth. He has real estate business. I am going to meet Mr. George Stevenson today for the finance. I will write an appeal letter for this one week trip and ask for $50,000.”
Jacob said, “ Are you sure that he is going to support us financially?”
John replied, “definitely! He may be old now but he supports adventurers and he gives publicity of those adventures in his magazine. He is the editor of a magazine named “Amazon Adventures” where he writes the adventure stories. The magazine gets financial support from wealthy businessmen of Brazil. “
John asked, “Why should we go to Amazon and not anywhere else?”
Jacob replied, “ In the Amazon forest, there is Amazon river consisting of deciduous forest, rain forest, seasonal forest. So there are lots of trees of new varieties, which has not been explored. “
John said, “ Okay. Tell me more. “ This Amazon forest covers eight countries in South America and they are Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela and Suriname. “
Jacob said, “There are savannah and flooded forests in Amazon. Many people go to Amazon for photography. Some people go to Amazon to study Plants and the zoologists go there to discover new species of animals. “
John replied, “ It is really interesting. I read many good books on Amazon. I learnt that the area of Amazon is 7.76 to 8.24 million square km. Can you imagine the new species of animals and plants in that region? There are also various tribes living deep within the dense forests of Amazon.”
Jacob said, “Do you know the amazing facts of Amazon rainforest? It will be great to embark on an adventure in the jungle. There are different species of animals like Poison dart frog, black spider monkey, river dolphin, macaw and jaguar. The forest covers 1.4 billion acres and it is 50% of the tropical forests of the earth. As the area is 5.5 milion square miles, Ireland and UK will fit about 17 times. Isn’t it amazing? Do you know that it is the second longest river in the world?”
John replied, “ Which river is the longest? “
Jacob said, “ Nile is 6650 km and the Amazon river is 6400 km.”
John asked, “ Do you know how many tribes are living in this region?”
Jacob replied, “ how many?”
John informed, “About 400 to 500 types of tribes of Amerindian origin are found here.”
Jacob asked, “ Do you know there are tribes having no contact with our modern world?”
John said, “ There are fifty such tribes!”
Jacob said, “The ecosystem of Amazon is quite rich. There are 1300 bird species, 40,000 plant species, 3000 varieties of fishes and 430 species of mammals. Would you like to know the total number of insect species?
John replied, “How much?”
Jacob said, “2.5 million varieties.”
John said, “ During our expedition in the Amazon forest, we have to take something to fight against the deadly creatures and these deadly creatures are poisonous snake, jaguars, poison dart frogs, piranhas that eat flesh and electric eels.”
Jacob replied, “Oh that’s great! Tell me more about the fishes of Amazon.”
John said, “ Yes! Pirarucu is an amazing fish in Amazon. It is a dangerous eater of flesh and they eat other fishes and can grow up to a length of 3 meters. There is a teeth in the mouth roof and tongue. Isn’t it amazing? Do you know that deep inside the forest is totally dark? “
Jacob replied, “ Oh really? But why? “
John said, “This is due to the presence of dense canopy. The dense forest allows water to percolate in the rainy season very slowly. The time taken for the water to reach the ground is 10 minutes!”
Jacob replied, “ Do you know anything about Green Anaconda?”
John said, “ Let me tell you about the interesting facts about these Anaconda. Many films in Hollywood have been made on them. When these anacondas reach its full size, the weight is 250 kg and it is the largest non-venomous snake. We will find these anacondas in rivers, streams, swamps, marshes of the Amazon jungle.”
Jacob asked, “Do you know about the poisonous frog of Amazon forest?”
John said, “Yes, tell me please.”
Jacob said, “Among the poisonous species found in Amazon, golden poison dart frog is quite well-known and its poison has the capacity of killing 10 adult human beings. But these frogs have a predator also. They are a particular species of snake and it is known scientifically as Leimadophis Epinephelus.”
John said, “ Okay. Let’s get ready for the adventure trip. “ John and Jacob were sitting in a café and chatting with a cup of coffee and burger. They decided to leave the café and prepare themselves for the zoology examination in the University of Brazil.
