Moving on to animals, the Amazon Rain forest has the largest diversity of animal species in the world and 90% of their animal species are insects. Most of the other animals that live in this rain forest are arboreal which means they live and spend most of their time in the trees. Some well known animals living in the Amazon Rain forest are; Harpy eagles, Vampire bats, Toco toucans, Blue Dart frogs, Woolly monkeys, Squirrel monkeys, Orange tree boas, Jaguars and Anteaters. These are just a few because there are way to many to list them all (impossible).

You know so much about our environment! I'm really impressed with all of your facts and statistics. Do you study biology or something because you're incredibly knowledgeable. Have you ever been to the Amazon because you would probably love it!
