In How Many Countries Is The Amazon Rainforest Spread? Some Amazing Facts About Amazon Rainforest

You might be aware of many forests, in which some are very beautiful and some are quite mysterious. But there is also a forest which is said to be the scariest in the world, about which there is a belief that if someone goes astray in this forest, then it is impossible for him to make a return. So in today's article, we will discuss some amazing facts about Amazon Rainforest, alternatively, the Amazon jungle, or Amazonia.

The Amazon Rainforest is the world's largest tropical rainforest, which also provides 20 percent oxygen to the earth. 

The Amazon Rainforest is spread across nine countries, including Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. 

The richest ecosystem of this rainforest is home to 40,000 plant species, 1,300 bird species, 2200 types of fishes, 427 types of mammals, 430 amphibians species, 380 reptile species, and 2.5 million species of insects.

It is also said that this forest is not safe for the outside world as the tribal people living here are known for killing and eating humans. And even if you somehow escape from them, then the poisonous creatures of the forest and the ferocious animals will kill you.

While on one hand it is called the world's most dangerous forest, whereas, on the other hand, it is considered to be the most beautiful just because of its biodiversity, which makes it one of the most biodiverse places on earth.

In the forests of the Amazon, you can see one-third of all the creatures on earth at once. It is believed that so many thousand types of insects and animals are found here that scientists have come to know about only a few percent of them.

Bullet ants found here are also very dangerous, which stretches almost 1.5 inches in length, and the sting of these small ants is considered dangerous like poison as their bite hurts as much as a bullet shot.

Along with ants, there are more than 3 thousand species of spiders found here including the world's largest spider Tarantula, and most of which are poisonous. But despite being the largest spider in the world, its bite usually feels like a bee or wasp sting, with no lasting effects.

There are about 390 billion trees in the Amazon rainforest, of which more than 16,000 are just species. The amazon forest comprises so many big and tall trees that even the sunlight does not reach here properly. It is also known as the lung of the earth and it is claimed to produce 20 percent of the world's oxygen.

Not only this, more than 400 primitive tribes live here, each with its own language, culture, and territory, who have no connection with the outside world.

Many films have been made on this forest so far, but only some part of the forest is visible to you in the film or pictures. In fact, it is so vast that it touches the boundaries of nine countries alone.
