Take an exotic journey in the Amazon, home to one-third of all living things.
Watch out for anacondas and piranhas, giant spiders and tiny toxic frogs. In churning river channels, still lakes and even flooded treetops look for tetras, turtles and fruit-eating fish called tambaqui. See how the region’s animals, plants and people adapt to the water’s dramatic annual rise and fall.
