10 The inhabitants of the Amazon River
Piranha
Piranha is omnivorous freshwater fish that live in rivers in South America. Venezuela on the rivers, they called caribes. They are famous for its sharp teeth and carnivorous. However, even though Hollywood is often published with a negative piranha, piranhas are not as dangerous as it is, and is often cultivated in the home and office.
Pirarucu / Arapaima
Arapaima, pirarucu, or paiche (Arapaima gigas) is the largest freshwater fish species in the world that comes from the tropical waters of South America. Arapaima fish can grow to a maximum of 3 meters and weighing 200 pounds. There is now very scarce in Arapaima is larger than 2 meters because these fish are often arrested for consumption of the population or exported to other countries.
Amazon Catfish Amazon is the catfish capital of the world! There is no river system, anywhere in the world, is as rich as the Amazon catfish species. It is estimated that more than 2,800 different species of fish occur in the Amazon. Remarkably, almost half of them were catfish! Orders Siluriformes, or catfish, (along with Characiformes) is the sequence of the most diverse of Amazon fish and perhaps the most spectacular. With 15 families, including more than 1200 species, catfish Amazon Amazon not only dominate, but they account for nearly half of all species of catfish in the world. Sizes ranging from small, 2cm Candirú into a giant, nearly 3 feet in length Brachyplatystoma, or 'piraiba', these fish occupy very diverse ecological niches. Some bottom dwellers, some nights.
Anaconda
Generally when we hear the name of Anaconda, then it is more likely to think of "sadism" Anaconda giant creatures that prey on anything that was filmed live in Anaconda: The Hunt for Blood Orchid (1997) or sequel Anaconda 3: The Offspring and anacondas: Trail of Blood is produced in 2008. While Python is widely known by our society because of the presence and habitat Python found in Indonesia. Of course, Anaconda snakes are not as fierce as shown in the film above.
Electric eel
Electric eel or an electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is a type of Template: freshwater fish that can generate a strong electric current (up to Template: 650 volts) to hunt and defend themselves. Although referred to eel or eel, it includes members of the order Gymnotiformes, which does not include them. Besides the usual found in the Amazon River can be found as well Orinoco River and the surrounding areas. He can grow up to 2.5 m long (8.2 feet) and weighing 20 kg (44 pounds), although usually average size is 1 m.
CandiruCandiru (vampire fish)
CandiruCandiru (vampire fish) is a type of freshwater fish similar to catfish. This fish has a reputation among locals as the most feared fish, exceeding even piranha. Species, measuring only about an inch long, shaped like an eel and transparent so hard to see in the water. Candiru is a parasite. He entered into the crevices of the other fish gills, issued in order to hold the spine in place, and drink the blood in the gills, so called "vampire fish of Brazil".Why fish is dangerous because he is attracted to urine or blood, and when someone swimming naked he would get into the gap anus or vagina, or even if a small fish into the penis hole - and possibly into the urethra). When this happens the fish candirú very difficult to take back except through the operation, the image on the right is the Candiru is inoperable due to go into the person's genitals. Because this fish finds its prey by following the flow of water from the gills to its source, urinating while swimming increases the likelihood candirú into the human urethra.
Poisonous Frogs
This frog is equipped with lenders all over her body that are toxic. Local people use this to smear frog poison dart frog with mucus from the body of this (of course predictably cautious) and if the monkey who becomes the prey, monkeys hanging from the tree it will immediately fall to the ground."The frogs are the only animal in the world that could kill a man known only by touch alone." They can jump as far as 2 feet or 50 times its body length.
Poisonous caterpillars
Poisonous caterpillars looks like you are used to see resilient feathers, but feathers of resilient feathers on this one contains saesuatu dangerous, very dangerous to dozens of people die every year simply because the touch! Way too harsh, its venom contains anticoagulant (preventing blood clotting), and the victim's blood pressure will go down dramatically and cause death. Caterpillars are easily found in a tree - a tree in the Amazon river.
Rex Tyrannobdella
Although there are over 600 species of leeches, thought there are many more species of leech that has not been found until now. Leeches are allegedly relatives of other species, namely Dinobdella ferox, a type of loan from Taiwan. Do not eat it like a leech, the leech has a row of teeth, consisting of eight teeth with a length of approximately 0.13mm. In fact, because the characteristics of the teeth, similar to the discoverers gave the name terbuas carnivore dinosaur of its time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. These leeches live by sucking blood and mostly stuck to the nose of their host. If another leech "dropped" when full, these leeches will continue to stick in the nose until it reaches the size of 7 cm. According to wikipedia.com, a favorite animal is the nose, mouth, throat, and some have been found in the genital system of mammals. Imagine how the leech if you are infected? Unfortunately I can not find the source of the news. Although this is called the leech giant leech, its size is still small. With size like that, this animal would be difficult to detect if it is attached to the nose. People who are infected will experience severe headaches.
Crocodile
One evening there was a tourist who wanted to bathe in the mouth of the Amazon river, asked a little boy who was fishing the edge of the river. "Hey, this river is not no fish Piranhanya right?", Asked the tourist.Then the boy replied, "Yes sir ..".The tourists immediately jumped into the river, and he asked once again to the child is, "Yes my son, no piranhas here?".By relaxing the boy replied, "Of course sir, for fear the fish at the same piranhanya crocodiles there!"
