Animals That Live In Tropical Rain Forests

A complete list of jungle animals would take you weeks and weeks to read, since there are millions of animals living in the world’s jungles, also known as tropical rainforests. About half of all the animal species on earth—mammals, birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles—would be on that list of jungle animals.

In addition, the world contains many different jungles or rain forests, and the list of jungle animals would be different for each jungle.

However, if we want to, we can make a short list of some of the most interesting jungle animals in each of the rain forests around the planet. We can have a list of jungle animals for each jungle that includes a top predator or two, one or two of the largest animals in that jungle, some primates, one or more reptiles, and some birds.

The Amazon Rainforest.

Located in South America, the Amazon Basin is 7,3 million square km wide. The Amazon Rainforest is about 6 million square km, and its majority is contained within Brazil (60% of the forest), Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, 9 countries in total. Also known as Amazonia, the Amazon Rainforest is located in the area along the equator where the climate is hot and humid, some ideal conditions for a dense evergreen rainforest. 

 

This rainforest is one of Earth main source of oxygen.

 

The Amazon river has the highest discharge (from 70,000 to 280,000m3/sec during flood season). From the Andes Apurimac where it starts all the way to the Atlantic it is 7025 km long and up to 10km wide. It can be navigated up to Manaus.

 

The Amazon river and its tributaries (rio Negro, Japura, Purus, Madeira, Tapajos, Xingu, Araguaia, Tocantins…) water the Amazonia from the Guianas plateau North, to the Andes West and the Brazilian plateau South.

 

In the last 10 years, the Amazon Rainforest lost 500,000 square km (about the size of France), which became pasture for cattle, or farmland for Soybean cultivation. The Brazilian Amazonia annual deforestation rate is the largest globally.

 

Every four seconds, the equivalent of a football stadium disappears in Amazonia

According to a study published by Science magazine, 42% of the Amazon rainforest could have virtually disappeared by 2020. Yet, it is estimated that at least 60% of Amazonia must absolutely remain untouched for the survival of its own climatic and hydrological system. Below that threshold, what will be left of the forest will dry out and die. As a result, some researchers are warning that should no immediate action be taken to save the forest, the point of no return could be reached within ten to twenty years.
