Olá from The Amazon!

by Taylor | May 16, 2012

AGE: 55 million years old

SIZE: 2.1 million square miles, 60% of which lies in Brasil

NATIVE INHABITANTS: About 250,000

LOUD NEIGHBORS: Toucans, the most popular bird in the Amazon, can be heard up to half a mile away!

BREATHE DEEPLY: Dubbed the “Lungs of the Planet” – this rainforest produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen.

MADE IN THE SHADE: Comprised of 4 layers – the emergent, the canopy, the understory & the forest floor – only 2% of the sun’s rays actually make it to the Amazon's ground.

HELPING HANDS: The goal of The Nature Conservancy in the Amazon is to effectively conserve 140 million acres by 2015!

NOTABLE BEASTS: Anaconda, Electric Eel, Vampire Bat and the Black Caiman
