During the rainy season gets (9 feet) about three meters of water, raising its level between 30 and 45 feet (10-15 meters). Every time it rains in the Amazon forest drains into the main river, thousands of acres are flooded, creating the highest level of biodiversity on the planet.

His constant temperatures create perfect conditions for life, leading to more than thousands of different species of animals, mammals (like dolphins or Amazonian manatee Rosado), fish, birds, insects and spiders.
The Amazon rainforest is the largest in the world, by its appearance, size, level of dangerousness or sound.
