Anacondas, caimans, piranhas and jaguars all call this place home. Years ago, Jeremy Wade travelled here looking for the arapaima, a 10-foot long fish that has been known to ram predators with the force of a car crash. The trip resulted in Jeremy feeling the full force of one of these blows as one arapaima's tail hit his chest.
meta version —number, "2". file tree —a tree of dictionaries. Each key represents a directory name or a file name. The file is length —size of the file in bytes (only when one file is being shared though) piece root —For non-empty files this is the root hash of a merkle tree with a branching factor of 2, constructed from 16KiB blocks of ...
A team of researchers funded by New York pharmaceutical firm Wexel Hall, including Gordon Mitchell, Dr. Jack Byron, Sam Rogers, Gail Stern, Cole Burris, and Dr. Ben Douglas, leave for a jungle in Borneo to search for a flower called Perrinnia immortalis--"the Blood Orchid"—that they believe contains a fountain of youth, and the legendary Kukuusah Arkhurst which is believed to contain the ...
Several widely reported but unconfirmed (and probably largely anecdotal) reports claim that the black caiman can grow to over 6.1 m (20 ft 0 in) in length and weigh up to 1,100 kg (2,400 lb). [1] [2] [3] While it is unclear what the sources for this maximum size are, many scientific papers accept that this species can attain extreme sizes as such.

[1] The Recording Industry Association of Japan has used a 2010 study to suggest that illegal downloads (which have been illegal since 2010) outnumber legal ones 10:1. [2] [3] In 2012, a law was passed that would invoke penalties for accessing pirated music or movies. [3]
On a Hawaiian island, Professor Lovegrove and a group of scientists are researching eggs that belong to two gigantic piranha/anaconda hybrids. However, one of the snakes kills all of the scientists except for Lovegrove, who escapes into the jungle. Meanwhile, a film crew on the island is in the middle of filming a slasher movie.
The split between the two green anaconda species has been claimed by the discovering team to parallel other such north-south splits in South American fauna, such as between the northern caiman lizard (Dracaena guianensis) and the Paraguay caiman lizard (Dracaena paraguayensis), or between the Orinoco mata mata (Chelus orinocensis) and the ...
