[music] the

Amazonian jungle the world's largest

rainforest

half of the precipitation here is formed

by evaporation of water

it is the richest ecosystem on the planet

it is home to a third of all

species on earth

warm humid climate almost does not

change throughout the year

life in such favorable conditions is in

full

swing in the jungle there are many

worlds sun-drenched in the tops of the trees

forest floor crowns and lowland swamps

here, as in a mosaic, many habitats are collected

to live in which

both people and animals have adapted

to this kingdom, the most

powerful river on the planet rules

[music]

[music]

[applause ]

[music]

in the wilds of latin america

[music]

amazonian jungle one forest many

worlds the

rainforests of south america cover an

area of 8 million square

kilometers if it were a country it

would be the sixth largest in the world

they were formed in the last 15

million years since when

andes began to form the amazon began

to flow west to east

sixty percent of the amazonian jungle

is in brazil the

remaining 40 percent another 8 countries

on the equatorial belt is always hot and

humid

[music]

these are ideal conditions for life

rainforests have a huge

biodiversity of flora and fauna and

each species survives here in its own way

[music]

animals that can reach the

forest canopy live in a green area

it is at a height of

45 meters

every day the forest receives solar energy the

equivalent energy of 6 million

atomic bombs

billions of leaves

photosynthesise 12 hours a day all year round

[music]

they produce 20 percent of oxygen

in the world, countless fruits ripen here,

tree shelves, the most fertile part of the

forest,

this country of abundance,

but even there problems arise

from above, the foliage looks like a solid green

carpet,

however, in reality, tree branches

rarely touch each other and

movement at such a great height is not

easy this task

[music]

in the jungles of brazil alone there are

more than a hundred species of monkeys,

each of which has adapted in its own way

to life on the tops of the

trees

red revan and slowly move from

branch to branch

[music]

these are one of the heaviest monkeys in the forest

they are carefully chosen place for the

next step

[music]

in a powerful tail like a safety

rope

life in the trees is not easy but it

has its advantages

jaguar can't climb that high

so he rarely gets to feast

monkeys

tiny squirrel monkeys move

through the branches much faster than careful

and howler monkeys

tail they need to keep their

balance

these light creatures can climb

where other monkeys can't get

they weigh less than a kilogram and can

move even on the thinnest

branches

[music] the

upper part of the forest grows brummel poisons

among their leaves hiding full of proteins

insects that squirrel monkeys

love eat

[music]

abundance food in the tree canopy

made the monkeys find unusual

ways to get to it

one of the strangest creatures living

here is the bald uakari

it is not the cutest monkey but

it has excellent acrobatic

abilities

uakari is the only monkey in the

Amazonian jungle

with short chopped tails,

this disadvantage is compensated by powerful

front and hind limbs

[music]

they can make incredible jumps

of 10 meters or more

[music]

uakari's teeth are perfectly adapted for

extracting earthlings from fruit and guahe's

short tail and hairless head

create the illusion that the monkey is hanging upside down,

scientists believe that in this way uakari

knocks down predators

jaguar I can get the monkeys living here

but other predators live in the tree canopy

in the wilds of latin america

living in the amazonian jungle harpy is

waiting for the right moment to hunt

harpies artificial monkey catchers the

length of their claws reaches 13 centimeters

the claws of a grizzly bear of the same size

they are so powerful that they can lift a

victim weighing up to 9 kilograms into the air

as much as the harpies themselves weigh;

they have large eyes and excellent eyesight;

they can spot a tiny monkey from a

distance of 200 meters,

despite the fact that the wingspan

reaches two meters gar and incredibly

agile

they can fly at a speed of 80

kilometers per hour and easily

maneuver between tree branches

everything ends in a matter of seconds

huge claws break monkey bones in the blink of an eye

[music]

a harpy chick sits next to its

nest it is hungry the

chick has already fledged but the hunter from it

is not important yet the

sloth has chosen a dangerous place for himself to rest

adults the harpy

would have plucked his lights in an instant,

but even when dinner is brought to the young

harpy on a silver platter, she does not seem to know

where to start the

sloths are lucky, however, he retreats

very slowly

[music]

sloths moves slowly but they are not at

all lazy

their clumsy escaping is part of

an amazing survival strategy

[music]

sloths spend their entire lives on just a

few trees

their claws cling to branches so tightly

that sloths almost never fall even

in their sleep the

modified muscle allows the sloth

to hang for hours in positions where

no one could stay for long

mammal

sloths survival secrets lies in

slow digestion

they spend very little energy and I

need a large amount of food

daily do not eat only 200 grams of

leaves

it takes 30 days to digest them

they come down to earth only once a

week at the call of nature the

descent is worth it because the excrement

fertilizes the trees on which they live

sloths completely blend in with their surroundings

their spotted fur is excellent camouflage

that even turns green with

algae when

wet unlike other mammals

they cannot regulate

their body temperature their metabolism is regulated by the

constant heat of the tropical oh forests

sloths move so little that

other animals colonize their bodies

these tiny models live all their lives

on the shaggy skin of a

sloth one animal can live up to a hundred of

these insects

[music]

moths feed exclusively on

excrement sloths

female moths try to be at the

right time in the right place to

lay their eggs next to a large supply of

food

[music]

animals are highly dependent on their

habitat and source of food so

any changes make them very vulnerable

animals adapt to

life here in different ways that is why

there is such diversity

in the forest in the Amazonian jungle there is a third of all

species of living creatures on the planet

every three days a new species is discovered here

in one tree of the Amazonian jungle there

may be more species of ants than in

all of Britain and on one hectare of forest there are

more species of plants than in Europe

here lives a fifth of all bird species

on earth

tropical forest a multi-level world

animals living on different co The seeds of one

tree can lead such different

lifestyles as if they lived in different

parts of the planet the

world of the forest soil is very different from the

canopy

from above, only two percent of the

sunlight gets here, it's hot and stuffy,

and this dark kingdom is ruled by nightmarish

creatures

[music]

on the ground a colony of wandering ants moves

in search of food they periodically

raid a particular area of

\u200b\u200bthe forest in one day they can destroy a hundred thousand living creatures ants communicate using air-released pheromones such instant messages help to call for reinforcements when the victim is caught ants repeatedly sting its

enzyme exit dissolve the

fabric and it becomes easier for hunters to

cut it into pieces the

trophy is carried away to the parking lot having

devastated one part of the forest ants

go to hunt in another

wandering ants one of the most

amazing creatures living in the

Amazonian jungle

but there are animals that can handle them

ant ants peck the vanguard of the army of

ants

food itself moves towards

them they only have to catch prey

some species of butterflies feed

exclusively on droppings ants dexterity

[music]

it is not amazing but the survival of

more than 300 species of birds and butterflies depends

on roaming ants

[music]

animals in the jungle thrive

since there is always a stable climate

at the poles of the planet, the differences between the

seasons are colossal,

however, closer to the tropics, animals do

not need to hibernate or migrate

for the winter

in the equatorial jungle, the climate does not

change from day to day and from year to year

in such constant conditions, evolution

has achieved much

[music]

here you can find the most amazing

colors and shapes the

forest floor is the most unchanging

habitat of all

it is protected not only from the scorching

sun but also from wind and rain

[music]

25 percent of precipitation evaporates while

moving through leaves and branches before reaching

land

in these forests live millions of species of

members hairy and insects one-fifth of

all that exist on earth

[music]

this spider is one of the largest in the world

it is the size of a human palm

it marks the territory leaving a trail of

cobwebs

so it can always find its way home a

group of caterpillars touch each other with

hairs so that no one gets lost

living conditions so predictable that

animals can work out the

necessary survival strategies themselves

[music]

tiny tadpoles live in this foam

their father bullfrog whipped it from the mucus

excreted from the back of the mother

this is the last manifestation of parental

care from now on they are left to

themselves they

blow bubbles to to prolong the

existence of one's own fortress, it is the

only defense,

but it is not so easy to hide from one forest monster

[music]

the body length of this wasp is several

millimeters, but for tadpoles,

insects pose a mortal

threat

; and

[music]

ios frogs have a special relationship

especially using the foam in which

tadpoles live as glue to

build their own hives in the

wilds of Latin America

in the Amazonian jungle, some animals

adapt to a certain

habitat or food source, while others

prey on the first

evolutionary race has created many

strange life forms

if the stick insect is still it will become

invisible

[music]

it completely merges with the environment

[music]

one predator did not notice it

but other creatures still found a

way to feed on its flesh

tiny mites slowly eat its

tissues

[music] the

local jungle is diverse not only

fauna

because the

seasons do not change in

the equatorial belt flora grow here all year round

[music]

hundreds of millions of trees compete for

light and nutrients

despite this, soils in the Amazonian forests

are poor and infertile

[music]

from smaller and bark and leaves quickly

split fungi and bacteria

[music]

roots and stems struggle to

find a source of energy in the foliage lying on the

ground

[music]

nutrients are processed

so quickly that the soil does not have time to be

saturated

with them competition here high

plants wage a protracted war

many of them are armed and dangerous

[music ] the

thorns on this tree scare away monkeys

[music]

other species secrete a poisonous sap

that keeps insects at bay

in the Amazonian jungle there are 30 million

people

many of them are descendants of the first settlers of

planters and slave traders

but some are representatives of

peoples who have lived here for 10,000

years

[music]

children of the satere mawe tribe

living in the north of brazil are trained

in skills that are passed down from generation

to generation they catch ants it is one

of the richest sources of protein in the forest

it is believed that ants make up 30

percent of all creatures living in the jungle

[music]

but they have an amateur taste and

you need to eat them

skillfully ove contains a lot of protein

[music]

but such an appetizer can bite itself in

the Satere Mawe tribe

, another much more unusual tradition is associated with ants

[music] a

group of hunters looking for their prey

most often hunters try to walk

silently so as not to disturb future

prey,

but today there is such a need no these

people want those they are hunting to

know about their approach

[music]

hunting horns awaken all

life in the forest to life

[music]

finally they find those they were looking for

work

these are bullet ants

these giants are one of the largest

ants in the world

[music ]

[applause]

their serrated 3 cm jaws

can easily bite through human

flesh

but the most formidable weapon is in the

ants in the back of the body the

name bullet ants speaks for

itself, their sting is capable of causing

incredible pain,

smoke and sounds cause more and

more ants to come out

[ music]

their neurotoxin is so strong that when bitten,

it seems like you are being shot ate

[music] the

sting serves as a defense mechanism for the ants

excruciating pain makes the

attacker think that he is dealing with something

much more serious than the sting of the ant

and retreat but the capture of ants is

only the beginning

to become a man every youth of the

tribe must endure the unbearable

pain inflicted by ants

[music] the

women in the village prepare for the

return of the men

[music] the

leaves of the cashew tree have special

properties

children are taught to collect the

youngest and juiciest leaves

[music] the

leaves soaked in water release

natural chloroform the

only way to deal with the

ants is to put them to sleep temporarily

and this the method is passed down from generation to

generation

sleepy ants do not offer any

resistance

then palm leaves are made into

mittens

ants are placed inside in such a way

that they cannot get out of them the

sting of dozens of ants are

inside the mittens

[music]

this ceremony is known as the festival of

ants so indira

[music ]

every man of the tribe

must go through this test in their life

20 times

today it's the turn of two young men

[music]

both have been through this before

[music]

but it doesn't make it any easier for them

[music] the

ants are starting to wake up the

smoke annoys them more and more

[music]

they are very angry

[music]

every young man must keep his hands in

mittens for 10 minutes an

ant sting is 30 times more painful a wasp sting

in each mitten more than 120 ants

[music]

just one bite can cause a

fatal allergic reaction

[music]

tribe they dance and sing to divert the

attention of the young man from unbearable pain, a

well-known case when men wanted to

cut off their hands just so that the pain would

stop

[music]

it is necessary to keep moving the

dance makes the blood move through the

vessels, it helps to disperse the poison through them,

in addition, it evaporates along with sweat, the

hands of the young men swell and become

paralyzed the pain spreads

through the chest and will last for 24 hours [music] all living whether villages help young men

cope with the test of

sutter, they both say that the ant

protects them from illness and makes them

strong and healthy,

they believe that the painful test

makes a real man out of every young

man.

the jungle is

cut by rivers it is a natural

irrigation system that supplies water to all

animals in all corners of the forest

although many cats avoid water

jaguars and swim across rivers with ease

large paws serve as excellent oars for

rivers supply jaguars and provisions

they often catch fish or turtles in

shallow water

these big cats can kill even the

caiman

but this young jaguar is not an experienced hunter

[music] the

caiman also instinctively knows what

to measure

[music]

[music] the

jaguar is lucky today the

larger and adult caiman could not

let him go so easily

in the wilds of latin america

amazonian jungle are they full of streams and

rivers

they all flow into the most powerful river in the

world

its length is more than six and a half thousand

kilometers it flows from the peruvian andes to the

east coast of brazil where it

stretches for 240 kilometers

[music]

more water enters the ocean from the amazon

than from the next nine

largest rivers combined it

contains 5 of all the fresh water on the

planet

[music] the

amazons more than a thousand tributaries

some of them are muddy due to the

fertile silt that they bring in from the andes

other acidic waters in them light black

tea

near the city of manaus The

remains of the water mixes with the waters of the Rio Negro,

which itself is one of the

largest rivers in the world, together they

form the main course of the Amazon

and

the water temperatures in the two rivers are different and

they flow at different speeds,

so their waters do not mix

for about 10 kilometers and

their confluence is one of the

richest freshwater habitats in the

world

in the amazon being introduced more

species of fish than in the entire Atlantic

Ocean

there are fish that are rumored to be able to

swallow a person alive and

piranhas famous for being

able to eat all the meat from the bones in a matter of minutes

here live creatures that are afraid of

feasting

[applause]

[music]

Amazonian dolphin and beautiful hunters

they are almost slippery but visibility in the river is

almost nil so vision and i

need them to hunt with echolocation

[music]

sound waves bounce off objects of

river dwellers and get into the growth on

their head so they build a very accurate

sound picture of the underwater world they

can detect in the water even a pin

[applause]

life in the rivers is in full swing

many rivers is one of the reasons for

its diversity of the local world

live it is easy for us to overcome small

streams

but larger ones they cannot cross the width of the

amazon in places reaches 30 kilometers the

rivers form barriers and cut off some

living beings from others

[music ]

this network of waterways d divides the Amazonian

jungle into many islands

they look like a big green blanket

that stretches to the horizon

but some areas separated by large

rivers are very different from others

foggy forests at the foot of the andes are nothing

like the lowlands

cut off from their relatives animals

evolve into new species

[music]

an example of this tamarins serve

these small primates occupied the

middle level of tropical forests

they live under the canopy and cannot be

reached not by the claws of harpies not by the deadly

sting of the inhabitants of the

lowlands, unlike other primates, they have

claws that help them move

vertically through the trees

in the Amazonian jungle there are dozens of

species of tamarins

some some of them live on small

islands cut off from the outside world by

rivers,

some marinas are found only

near the city of manaus, the

city slowly invades their forest

world

[music]

manaus grows and a group of monkeys

becomes separated from each other

all around the river and disappears

piebald tamarins as a species endangered

they are about to become extinct

but this group adapts perfectly

to their new home

natural agility helps them master

urban landscapes

[music]

walls and wires are not much different from

branches or on the

amazonian jungle a complex system of

different habitats where a

huge number of different species live

this system is larger than any forest many worlds are intertwined here the

largest river in the world divides the forest into a

plot forcing animals and plants to

evolve

[music] a

constant climate allows every

living creature to

adapt to life

but the modern world is attacking nature

and obviously animals are becoming very

vulnerable the future of the Amazonian jungle is in

our hands and we must respect the

integrity of this world
