The Amazing Amazon

I just got to Manaus last night and have been studying this combination of two environments(Rainforest and River) since. So far I have discovered some of the amazing and interesting facts about the amazon, here are some. It is longer than the east to west coast of Australia, because it floods the land around it is supremely fertile and therefore is luscious in plant life. Underneath the huge forest is a massive amount of fauna and also inside the river, but you have to watch out for the large predators. All in all it is a wonderful place with substantial geographical value.
