The Great Wonders Of The Amazon: The Amazon Exploration Series

Constantine Issighos

When the morning sun clears the rain forest canopy of the Upper Amazon basin of Peru and strikes its green carpet, one of the world’s most dazzling wildlife spectacles is nearing its riotous peak. One of the great wonders of the Amazon begins at 40 meters (130 feet) above the forest floor. Birds of red, blue, yellow and green, thousands upon thousands of parrots; squabble over their choice of mates, nests and nutritious seeds and flowers, a vital part of their diet. But the mid-morning crush belongs to the giants of the parrot world, the macaws. If you walk under the canopy near the river, perhaps you will be one of the luckiest of the visitors, and see a jaguar lurking on the river-banks or hear the slashing of a frolicking Giant Otter. This is only a small part on the the great wonders of the Amazon. The numbered series Amazon Exploration Series has been created in order to cover as much as possible of the animal, human and the vegetable life of the Amazon basin. This book is highly recommended for the whole family, elementary and middle schools, naturalists, community libraries and collectors of The Amazon Exploration Series.
