Where the Wild Things Are
The Amazon is absolutely amazing! Nearly nine times the size of Texas, the
Amazon jungle is the world's largest rain forest. Many scientists believe
nearly half of all plant and animal species live here -- with millions yet
to be discovered! Meet just a few of the creatures who call it their home.

The Macaw
With blue, red, yellow or green feathers, macaws light up the Amazon rain
forest with flying colors. These beauties can also live up to 50-70 years.
Unfortunately, poachers often catch macaws and sell them as exotic pets.
This is a big reason why these birds are the world's most endangered
long-tailed parrots.
