According to expert statistics, there are nearly 60,000 species of plants and 2.5 million species of insects living in the Amazon rainforest. Not only that, there are also abundant bird species and various mammals, amphibians, reptiles, etc. in the Amazon rainforest. About one-fifth of the world's birds live in the Amazon rainforest. Inside. Here, you can see most of the world's biological species and a variety of shocking natural scenes. Years of evolution of the ecological environment have made the value of the Amazon rainforest more and more precious. The Amazon rainforest has undoubtedly become a well-deserved "treasure place" in the world, and it is undoubtedly a paradise for living things. But at the same time, there are also many dangerous creatures lurking inside the Amazon rainforest. Even humans, as the overlords of the earth, will not get much advantage when entering the Amazon rainforest, and may even die there.
1. Mosquitoes in the Amazon Rainforest
As a kind of creature that we often see around us, mosquitoes have always been the enemy of mankind. But the Amazon rainforest mosquitoes are obviously much more advanced than the mosquitoes we usually come into contact with.
First of all, due to the humid climate, mosquitoes in the Amazon rainforest are much "richer" than ordinary mosquitoes. They are often large in size and agile in movement, and often attack humans in the dark.
Secondly, mosquitoes in the Amazon rainforest often carry "violent poison".
There are as many as 300 species of mosquitoes here, and most of them carry unique deadly viruses. Many of these viruses are unknown. If you are bitten by a mosquito in the Amazon, you are likely to lose your life.
2. Bullet Ant
Judging from the name, you know that the person who comes here is not good. The reason why it has this name is because if you are bitten by a bullet ant, you will probably feel like you have been hit with a gun, and it will be as painful as being shot.
Legend has it that after being bitten by a bullet ant, the pain is comparable to having 20 ribs broken at the same time. Bullet ants are the most poisonous ants in the ant family and are five times the size of ordinary ants. If we encounter it, we'd better run away.
3. Venomous spiders (wandering spiders and giant bird-eating spiders)
The wandering spider is one of the most venomous spiders in the world. There are extremely powerful neurotoxins inside the venom of wandering spiders. If this neurotoxin enters the human body, it will quickly cause paralysis of the human heart system and respiratory system. If we do not rescue in time, we are extremely likely to lose our lives.
In addition to wandering spiders, giant bird-eating spiders are also an extremely terrifying spider species. This is recognized as the largest spider in the world, often able to grow up to 30 centimeters in length. Although this spider is not very venomous, it can easily swallow birds and small creatures, and even venomous snakes will become its meal.
The giant bird-eating spider has pincer-like fangs. These fangs can often easily penetrate human skin and cause great harm to humans.
4. Giant centipede
In addition to these, centipedes in the Amazon rainforest are also much larger than ordinary centipedes. The Peruvian giant centipede, which lives in the rainforest, is more than 40cm long. Centipedes are one of the traditional "Five Poisons" in China. This kind of centipede that lives in the Amazon also contains highly toxic substances. Although it is not life-threatening, if you are bitten by this kind of centipede, it will be extremely painful. The thick fallen leaves and scattered tree trunks and gaps in the Amazon rainforest are the natural habitats of this kind of centipede. They usually hide in these places during the day and only go out at night, making the night in the rainforest particularly scary.
The creatures listed above are only a small part of the dangerous creatures lurking in the Amazon forest. There are more countless dangerous creatures lurking in the rainforest. The existence of these creatures also makes it difficult for humans to survive in the Amazon rainforest for a long time. Although these creatures are extremely poisonous, as long as humans do not invade their territory, it is difficult for them to come into contact with humans living deep in the rainforest. But now humans are actively developing rainforests. Tropical rainforests are being destroyed at an unprecedented rate and their habitats are lost. These creatures can only enter human society to make a living, thus posing a threat to human life and safety. Therefore, if you want to stay away from these highly toxic creatures, the most important thing is not to stay away from the rainforest, but to protect the rainforest and stop destroying the rainforest.
