The most terrifying creatures of the Amazon.

The depths of the Amazon to hide that and never dreamed of the Directors of modern horror. Huge closed ecosystem, which in fact is the entire basin of the great river, seemed to be specially inhabited by incredibly tenacious, incredibly dangerous and incredibly bloodthirsty creatures, which for man can only end with one outcome.

Black Caiman

The biggest predator in the entire Amazon basin. Black Caiman grows up to five meters long and can weigh half a ton. Natural born killers are the so-called top predators — that is, able to kill and eat any animal in its habitat.

Anaconda

Meeting the man with the Anaconda will be the last. Penalty snake is an excellent swimmer and can dive. Adult anacondas enemies in nature are almost there, except that it will converge on a narrow trail with a black Caiman, but such cases do happen.

Brazilian arapaima

Tropical freshwater fish, one of the largest freshwater in the world. This predator eats not only fish, but also small animals who came to drink.

Roundnose shark

No, not because of the stupid shape of the face they have such. Roundnose shark, or bull sharks, usually found in coastal waters and enjoy sneaking into the river. This is one of the most aggressive types of sharks, which without hesitation attack the person.

Electric eel

Perhaps one of the strangest creatures on our planet. Special electric organs allow the eels to generate a voltage to 1,300 V. a Sort of floating bare wire, with the positive charge on the face and negative in the tail. With one blow, the eel is able to stun a horse, but the human heart would just stop forever.

Brown pack

We can say that PACU a cousin of the piranha. Only the teeth are square and resemble a human. Why? Yes, to tear off the victim pieces of meat more.

The giant otter

Cute animal thirty pounds of weight is not very timid, unlike their European relatives. Not worth it to go for a joint selfie of the giant otter, and it is possible to lose a finger. The locals called otters “river wolf”: getting off to a real pack, they boldly attack the larger predators.

Candiru

Another name — Brazilian vampire. Tiny catfish usually parasitic on other fishes, climbing in the gills and drinking there blood. But she don’t care who is the victim and what hole to swim. Thanks Candiru, smart people in the Amazon small need not celebrate never. Guess why?

Scombroidei hidrolik

Huge fangs of the lower jaw earned gidrolika the glory of the vampires. However, the blood of this fish does not drink, and just swallows their prey whole, having spread it before on your lovely teeth. For the human species is not dangerous, but looks really dark.

Common piranha

Yes, the most that neither is ordinary, so it is in Latin and is called Pygocentrus nattereri. Reputation is dangerous to humans, the predator fish is fully deserved, and most of the legends about her (like the ability to smell blood) is true. Piranhas swim in huge swarms and attack all together.
