killed a four-year-old human child don't forget to subscribe and hit the

mosquitoes may be one of the most dangerous creatures for a visitor of the
Amazon rainforest it offers the ideal conditions for these insects which
thrive in these warm and wet tropical environments the Amazon tourists should
take all the precautions necessary in order to prevent bites of mosquitoes
including vaccinations against yellow beaver and take other related
preventative measures even if they don't kill you with just one bite they bring
diseases that damage people all over the world make sure you don't get bit by
these mosquitoes since it could result in serious problems like dengue fever
malaria and yellow fever these are the main diseases in the
Amazon rainforest malaria is one of the most dangerous diseases that a mosquito
can carry preventive medications are needed both in yellow fever and malaria
number eight the Brazilian Wandering Spider 'z the deadliest and most
aggressive living spider in the world also known as fo net Rhea in Greek which
means murderers in English they could be found in Brazil Venezuela Ecuador and
Peru unlike the spiders you know the
Brazilian Wandering Spider won't build a web they prefer wandering on the jungle
floor which is why they're named that way they hunt during the night and
during the day the spider will hide in places you'll have to avoid it has been
seen hiding in banana plants and they might wander into human properties like
houses and cars the majority of the time these spiders will hide under fallen
logs or rocks the watering spider is hard to detect due to their small size
but once disturbed these small spiders will bite multiple times their venom
contains poisonous neurotoxin which can cause intense pain inflammation blurred
vision as well as a loss of muscle control if not treated rapidly the
trouble breathing paralysis and even death could occur numbers seven the
Jaguar they're one of the most threatened and deadly rainforest animals
in the Amazon but also the largest coniferous cat in Central America the
Jaguars diet is diverse and includes a minimum of 87 species like deer wild
pigs sloths monkeys and even snakes while humans aren't on their menu
killing an adult person is easy for a Jaguar they're the largest member of the
cat family with a length of 43 to 75 inches and a weight of up to 135
kilograms it's no surprise with time they became
special nice killers with the strongest bite of
any other large cat tigers and lions Jaguars will make a sudden attack on
their prey usually from their blind spot their bite is powerful enough to
penetrate the animal's shells and skulls they can even pierce through the armor
of armadillos and turtles Jaguars can also dislocate necks with their strong
jaws number six the electric eel under the Amazon River in Brazil lurks a
shocking danger the electric eel is not a real eel but a knife fish able to give
those who threaten it a massive electric shock three pairs of fish's abdominal
organs enabled it to produce enough electricity to stun a person the eels
are using their power to stun the prey before they are consumed fatal human
attacks are uncommon but they do exist one single strike could stun a person
sufficiently to stop his breathing and drown in deep water electric eels can't
see what they're shocking they're mostly blind and use a radar-like system of
electrical pulses to navigate and find food they have special electric organs
with six thousand electrolytes in their bodies the electrical charges of these
electrolytes together could be up to 600 volts these attacks could even leave a
human with heart failure these highly dangerous species are found in Amazonian
fresh waters the electric eel grows around six to eight feet in length and
weighs almost twenty kilograms if you learned something new so far don't
forget to smash the like and subscribe buttons number five the black caiman
in the flooded savannas of the Amazon basin you can find the largest species
in the alligator a day family the black caiman is the amazon's largest predator
it eats Turtles fish birds and any land animals like sloths monkeys dogs giant
otters and a conda's and even other Caymans these mighty creatures are able
to take any animals into its territory including humans black caimans attacked
43 people from January 2008 to October 2013 but fewer than one-fifth of the
attacks were fatal known for being one of the largest
alligators in the world they grabbed and drowned there's next snack swallowing
them whole whenever possible with their powerful jaws if it's too large they'll
wait for it to rot and bite it into smaller pieces number four piranhas
piranhas are one of the Amazon River Basins most dangerous aquatic predators
piranhas are known for their strong jaws and sharp teeth they are arranged in one
row surprisingly they can bite through hooks made of silver they will attack in
a group during a starving period or when provoked a group of hungry piranhas will
attack almost everything in their view just like in a multiple popular movies
piranhas might strip the flesh of a big animal within minutes they can easily
tear the flesh of human beings which is very surprising the bone in their jaw so
strong then in five to ten seconds they can crush a human hand when resources
are low and food competition is high it has become to be known that piranhas
will steal a piece from a friend piranhas living or dead as weird as it
sound they will do everything they can to survive even turn to cannibalism
and now it's time for my personal best pick my pick for today might be small
but their bites are known for being extremely painful that bean number three
the bullet and their bite is likened to be as painful as being shot even moreso
than the bite of a tarantula hawk wasp it could also inject venom which may
cause temporary paralysis of the bitten area though not enough to be fatal
the length of the worker ants is around one inch the bullet ants sting is
possibly the most painful insect sting that people have ever known the bullet
ant won't kill you unless you're allergic its venom causes pain but is
not lethal it is in fact a newborn ritual of the cetera a tribe in the
Amazon to get stung by a few hundred bullet ants they use such a painful
sting exclusively to defend themselves whether a large animal or a human being
is threatening them bullet ants will attack multiple times their sting pain
normally lasts around 24 hours these ants make colonies that consist of
hundreds of individuals at the base of trees and they are also hairier than
most ants which is pretty weird number two the poison dart frog perhaps
the deadliest animal living on earth are these colorful frogs don't get too
curious the skin of some of the species carries poison that can kill up to ten
adults or 10,000 mice in other words their bright colors should be seen as
touch me in your debt but tracks a toxin is a poison produced by these frogs the
toxin is so powerful that it can lead to paralysis and death even in tiny
quantities when it enters the bloodstream they only have one predator
that can eat them without being infected the fire-bellied snake also found in the
Amazon rainforest his thought to detoxify the frog's poison with a
substance in its saliva the poison dart frogs are quite peaceful except during
mating season when the males can get quite aggressive studies have shown that
in captivity poison dart frogs may lose their poison because the diet does not
consist of poisonous insects which are usually consumed by wild frogs
number one the green anaconda green anacondas are the largest snake in the
world and lurk in the Amazon River awaiting its prey they are more than 30
feet long and weigh more than 500 pounds the green anaconda has difficulty being
on land due to their size but they are capable of moving steadily and rapidly
in the water striking anything it can overpower such
as Caymans wild pigs Jaguars deers and even humans the green anaconda coils
their body around their prey and drags it into the water and suffocates them
for minutes and swallows their whole body with their big jaws they don't eat
often green anacondas can eat a big meal and chill for several months let's just
say that you're safe if they aren't hungry I'd be careful if they are
scientists conclude that it is possible for an anaconda to consume humans as
these snakes already eat preys that are stronger than humans thank you for
