Adapting to Change

December 2nd, 2007 by admin

The sea creatures adapted to the change. Today the Amazon is one of the few rivers in the world with dolphins, stingrays and other ocean creatures that gradually adapted to fresh water. More than 2,500 species of fish swim through the river, which research now shows is the world's longest, besting the Nile by nearly 100 miles.The flood season, with the water gliding through tree tops, is the best time of the year to see the Amazon. Take a canoe garden hammock into the small flooded channels deep in the forest, push the boat's nose into the fork of a tree and you can climb right into the treetops to sit with the birds and butterflies, dangling your feet in the dark water. The piranhas, despite what you've been told, aren't the least bit interested in you for dinner.
