Imagine a snake so big that it could swallow a cow. Among its favourite foods are birds, snakes, and even frogs. It can be easily distinguished from the classic crocodile because its mouth is thinner. With a size of around 7 metres long, this is the largest predatory reptile in Latin America. It is a beautiful and at the same time dangerous animal that can be found in the surroundings and in the most wet areas, so if you travel to Puerto Maldonado it is possible that you may see one. CaymanĪ large predator could not be missing from this list: the Amazon caiman. They only eat leaves from trees and spend so much energy howling that they are all lazy, spending more than 15 hours a day sleeping. I’m sure you’ll notice it too if you travel to the Cuyabeno Reserve in Ecuador, it’s certainly earned the name “howler”. One of the reasons why this incredible monkey howls is to let the other herds know where he is located. The howls come from the males of the herd, and although there are many of them, there is only one dominant adult male. A name that doesn’t fool the visitor who gets to meet it in person, as it spends a large part of its waking day making a racket that doesn’t go unnoticed by its Amazonian fauna neighbours. One of the most popular Amazon animals is the hairy and noisy howler monkey. If you take a trip to the Iquitos Jungle, the Peruvian Amazon, it is very likely that you will see some of them and as our colleague Javier tells us in his experience in Iquitos, you may even see them while swimming. The mouth is pointed like a bottle, and although it is a large animal, many specialists define it as friendly and investigative. In addition, their head is large compared to other dolphin species. These dolphins do not resemble common saltwater dolphins, they can weigh 184 kilograms and measure 2.5 metres. The pink dolphin is characterised by very small eyes and a long, flat dorsal fin. The main peculiarity of this mammal is that, unlike the classic dolphin that we can see in the sea, the pink dolphin is a freshwater dolphin. This characteristic Amazonian dolphin is also known by the nickname of tonina. In today’s post, we talk about the 5 Amazon animals that you will discover if you get lost in the jungle, and not all of them will be particularly friendly: The pink dolphin This central region located in South America is known for being the lungs of the world and for be the home for immense natural wealth in terms of flora and, above all, fauna that is unique in the world.
