Here’s some more information on the Amazon and creatures of the Amazon: • The Amazon is the longest river on the planet, although it’s debated whether the Nile holds this title. • Many creatures only live in the Amazon. • Pink river dolphins can use special sounds (echolocation) to find things in the murky water. So if you lose something in the river, maybe you’ll meet a helpful dolphin! • Electric eels can zap with electricity when upset or startled. • Despite their reputation, piranhas hardly ever eat anything bigger than themselves. • Arapaimas are the biggest fish in the Amazon, and they can leap into the air! They can also breathe by gulping air, but only for a little while. • Wood-eating catfish (as their name suggests) will happily eat any trees that fall into the river. If your vehicle gets trapped by a falling tree, maybe a catfish can help out! • Capybaras are usually gentle, but can become territorial when protecting their young. • Anacondas are dangerous to capybaras, especially the young ones. • According to pirate legend, there is a hidden city in the Amazon! • Here’s a cute one: there are twice as many cats in the Amazon as there are in any other episode! ...Did I say episode? I meant adventure. Definitely not just talking about a TV programme here... On a serious note, all these facts from the programme are true. I just happen to be obsessed with cats, including fictional ones.
This is another one of those compilations that I find interesting! My favourite River Monster from this list would easily be the Green Anaconda! Amazing creatures! Especially from a distance! As for giant leeches, you won't even need to go all the way to the Amazon to find those!
@@taradookie3041 Paco lasted 11 years, he was massive. I used to keep him in a 100 gallon tank, but the upkeep was tedious. As such, I just included him in my Koi pond later on. May your two little ones bring you joy. I wish them good health. Thank you for the sub, btw. I just returned the favour. Nice to meet you.
I like the lot of stuff that you throw out there but I really like it when kick facts like these! Like my pops used to say you learn something new everyday
Was not prepared to see the Anaconda 😟, but that's alright. Anaconda is the only snakes I don't like! However, people were Venezuela believe that Megapiranha Paranensis still exists somewhere from Orinoco River known as Amazon River. Awesome video as always! Have a lovely weekend everyone! 😊😊😊😊😊
Gwyn Meade did it start out pretty small? A friend of mine had a couple pacus in a 150 gallon tank they grew to be about 16 inches. Started out the size of a silver dollar.
this is my favorite type of videos. i also appreciate your sense of humor. can you also do a video on killer earthworms (joke). thanks katrina . i always enjoy your channel.
A little more about the Amazon. The portion of this jungle located in Peru-its Amazon region-covers almost 60 percent of that country. Although only a fraction of the human population of Peru lives in this area, plants and animals in abundance find refuge beneath the forest’s 115-foot-high [35 m] canopy. In fact, the Amazon is considered to be one of the richest ecological treasure chests on earth. Over 3,000 varieties of butterflies float and flutter through the thick air. Some 4,000 types of orchids flaunt their gorgeous flowers. More than 90 species of snakes lurk in tree limbs and along the forest floor. And an estimated 2,500 species of fish-including electric eels and piranhas-patrol the rivers and streams. The world of the people of the Amazon is shrinking fast. New highways dissect the forest. Farms and coca cultivation eat into the jungle. Illegal logging lays bare great swaths of forest, each day destroying an area the equivalent of 1,200 soccer fields! Even the waterways suffer as legal mining operations and illegal cocaine production pollute the tributaries that feed the Amazon River. Indeed, the isolated people of the Amazon are feeling the effects of living during what the Bible prophesied would be “critical times hard to deal with.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Is the Amazon doomed to total destruction? The Bible provides the assurance that this will not be the case. Under the rule of God’s Kingdom, the entire earth will be transformed into a paradise, as our Creator intended it to be.-Isaiah 35:1, 2; 2 Peter 3:13.
Ok, so the thumbnail for this video is fake, the fish’s body is correct but the teeth are false only 2 teeth on that fish get to a huge size and that’s its front bottom teeth, the rest are pretty small
I really like these videos of animals/herps/birds etc from other countries than the one I live in. Lotsa fun but I wish everytime you get to a new animal you would spell the name in one of the sides at the bottom. You say the name once and then i cant remember so I cant search for it again if I want to know more!! Just a helpful thought! Thanks VM!!
Going to shopping for makeup and hair cut and 🙋 👭I'm up for shopping I just bring my brother we can use him for the carry the bags and other stuff to 😹😈
@@vampiregirl32 Yay!!! Your Brother is so Kind!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I Wish I Have One. I think I Need to go to HairStyle Tomorrow!!! Shopping Time is Fun than in Creepy Jungle 😨😨😨
Tigerfish in thumbnail,an African tigerfish.The Amazon river was in South America when I was at school,was my teacher telling me lies or is it in Africa?
You're not mistaken, this channel is though. For instance, the pacu has nut cracking teeth, for cracking nuts (that fall into the water), when they were introduced to Papua New Guinea, they turned carnivorous, and then and only then, they went for humans. This was in the Sepik river, there's a whole episode of River Monsters dedicated to that. Just as almost every scary creature here was featured in said program.
Aha.. “relentless bite” is an understatement. Remember that one time Jeremy Wade caught one, and it bit through kevlar AND steel? 😳 It was like butter.. No. Ma’am.
Green Anacondas are not the largest snakes. The largest is the Reticulated Python, which in rare cases, can be over 40 ft, in length. The largest ever found was 48 ft, 8 in, and weighed 983 lbs. The largest Green Anaconda ever measured was almost 28 ft. with a girth of 44 inches. She wasn't weighed at the time she was caught, but scientists estimate that she must have weighed over 500 lbs.
I thought you're gonna start singing Emu's Pink Windmill Kids song. "Hi It's Katrina. My name is Hugh. I'm Sarah....." I don't know if anyone even watched that video nowadays.
The arapaima or pirarucu (the name we call in Brasil) isn't a "monster" (despite being really huge) they are inoffensive to humans and you can even swin with then.
