Chapter 564: First Entry into the Rainforest

However, this beautiful big fish also has an ugly side, and when Gu Aru broke its big mouth, Hong Tao got goosebumps all over his body. The fish has no teeth in its mouth, but its tongue is covered with tiny bones, like the mouthparts of alien creatures inside the aliens.

Arapaima, Hong Tao finished reading its big mouth, and finally figured out how the name came about, it should not be called arapaima, but should be called giant. The arapaima, with a break in the middle, must have come from its disgusting tongue.

After taking the photo, everyone gave the fish as a gift to Gu Aru, and then declined Gu Aru's invitation, and did not return to the Indian village, although they thought that the coca leaf could chew a few more slices, but the food in the village was really unpalatable, in case people wanted to treat, your headquarters could say that I would not eat it, so it was better to leave early.

Thieves don't go empty! This is Hong Tao's belief, so this time he was not only satisfied with a few photos, but also deducted a few fish scales and left. The largest scales of this fish are larger than the palm of an adult's hand, at least 5 mm thick, and they are very hard and have a great texture, and they feel like a piece of resin in your hand.

The local Indians also don't waste these fish scales, they will make them into all kinds of tools, such as knives, combs, jewelry, etc., which are both transparent and delicate, and if you don't tell you, you will definitely not think that they are all made of fish scales.

In fact, Gu Alu also wanted to give Hong Tao a good thing on the fish, that is, the fish tongue full of teeth, it is said that drying and grinding this tongue can treat stomach troubles and ascariasis, which is very effective. But Hong Tao didn't want to be killed, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep, that thing was too adaptable, if he said that he could eat it seven times a night. Hong Tao can still endure it, just to treat the stomach ache or take berberine.

After bidding farewell to this Indian tribe, Anaya did not take Hong Tao directly back to the hotel, but walked around the criss-crossing rivers, not knowing what he was looking for. Anyway, it's still early, Hong Tao is not in a hurry to go back to the hotel, just turn around, although the appearance of the two sides of the strait remains the same, except for the trees are trees, but there are still some interesting things to see on these trees.

Take monkeys, for example.

In the past few days, Hong Tao has seen at least 4 completely different species of monkeys. Some look familiar, you may have seen it on TV, and some you haven't seen it at all. According to Anaya, he has seen dozens of species of monkeys living in the Negro River basin alone, including capuchin monkeys, spider monkeys, bearded monkeys, squirrel monkeys, long-tailed monkeys, and there is also a very famous monkey here, which is called the marmoset monkey, also known as the thumb monkey.

The monkey grows in the upper rainforests of several tributaries of the Amazon River, where it can only grow to a dozen centimeters in size. No one has the size of a palm, and it is a pet that many people dream of, and it is said that it can be sold for tens of thousands of euros in Europe.

Although Hong Tao also wants to catch two of them and bring them back to China to raise and play, this idea is difficult to implement. It's not impossible to catch monkeys. As long as you are willing to pay, you can hire hunters from Indian tribes to catch them for only a few thousand reais, and the most difficult thing is how you can take them out of the country, even if the Brazilian customs inspection is relatively loose. When you get to the United States, you have to show your stuffing, even if you even go through the U.S. customs, you still have to go through the customs when you return home. The dream of passing five levels and killing six generals is really unimaginable.

After monkeys, the second most abundant are birds. A wide variety of birds, including storks and cranes, all build nests on tree tops, some just above the river. The big birds combed their feathers in their nests without any trouble, and didn't care at all about the boats and people that passed below, and even gave you a soak of.

There are many small finches, which are colorful and colorful, and most of them hide under the canopy to catch various flying insects and butterflies to eat, and some will fly over the water to catch small fish. The most beautiful are the big parrots, which are covered with emerald green feathers, some with a pinch of yellow or blue hair on their heads, and some with red faces.

They are not very afraid of people, and they are very curious, and once again, when they were taking a nap in the hammock under the big tree, two parrots actually landed on the rope of the Anaya hammock, and cooed to the music in the small radio of Anaya, and swayed their bodies while singing, as if they were enjoying themselves.

These are all beautiful animals, and there are also a few more annoying animals. At the top of the list are snakes, which are so slippery that they can be found everywhere, whether in the treetops, on the ground, or in the water.

In addition to snakes, the second thing that makes Hong Tao disgusting is spiders, if Hong Tao can barely accept the snake, those bells and whistles spiders are too frightening to him. The spiders here and the domestic spiders are simply animals of two planes, and the largest spider Hong Tao has ever seen here is the size of a small face disk, and its yellow-brown body is covered with thick long hair.

The guy weaved a large net several meters high on a tree more than 20 meters high, almost covering half of the canopy, and then pulled a small bird entangled in the net into the leaves. Anaya said that this spider is called a bird-eating spider, and they not only eat birds, but also snakes, rats, and small monkeys are their food, and as long as the animal can be caught in this web, it is basically impossible to escape its fangs.

Before coming to Amazon, Hong Tao also did some homework at home, according to those materials, the most dangerous animals here should be crocodiles and forest snakes, that is, pythons. But since coming here, the notorious caiman Hong Tao has only seen it once, or two small crocodiles, and he has never seen the more terrifying jungle killer Mori Hong Tao.

It can be seen that it is obviously very unreliable to understand an unfamiliar environment just by looking at the information, and you must feel it on the spot. According to Anaya's explanation, those caimans will only take the initiative to attack humans close to their hatchery when they hatch small crocodiles, and in addition, those caimans will hide far away when they see people, let alone take the initiative to attack, it is difficult to look at them.

However, the forest python has become an endangered species, and most of them live in the depths of the rainforest, which is farther away from humans, and as long as you don't go out of your way to find it, you won't see one in the areas where humans often move for many years.

"Anaya, what are you looking for?" Hong Tao handed the camera to the sturgeon and looked at his watch, Anaya had been driving the boat for almost an hour, and it didn't seem to have stopped.

"There's still some time, let's not hurry back first, I'll take you to catch two crocodiles to play, you won't be interested, right?" Anaya smoked the Yellow Crane Tower brought by Hong Tao, and her mood was still very high, and she took the initiative to take the customer to catch crocodiles.

"You can catch crocodiles?" Of course, Hong Tao will not refuse Anaya's kindness, although the crocodile is not a new thing, but it is also a good experience to be able to touch it yourself.

"It's okay to catch small ones, but I don't dare to catch big crocodiles, hehe!" Hong Tao's question poked Anaya's sore spot, and he smiled a little embarrassed, as if he was sorry for Hong Tao and them.

"Enough, as long as it's a crocodile, we're satisfied, don't risk it, if you get bitten, no one will take us fishing." Hong Tao is full of good feelings for this kind innkeeper, he doesn't want people to take risks for their own pleasure, the main purpose of this visit is fishing, other things are earned at a glance, it doesn't matter if you don't see it.

"Alright, found it, let's go to the speedboat, hurry!" As he spoke, Anaya seemed to see a crocodile, hurriedly turned off the engine, parked the boat in a relatively calm inlet, and urged everyone to hurry to the small boat at the stern.

"Found a crocodile?" Hong Tao kept staring at the shore, but saw nothing.

"Yes, let's row over, take care not to loosen the cuffs and trousers, and wear our hats." Anaya untied the cable of the speedboat while continuing to advise everyone on safety.

"Follow me, I'll get the harpoon, you take the oars for self-defense, don't get too close to me, stay a little away, and walk carefully under your feet and on your head." When the speedboat landed, Anaya stepped onto the soft dirt on the shore, then tied the cable to the trunk of a nearby tree, took the harpoon, and walked out into the woods.

"Holy! I'm a little hairy! Lao Hong, it's better for you to go ahead, I'll ...... behind you" The fat man Bu listened to Anaya's words, and his body trembled a little, and he put Hong Tao in front.

"Hey, you're really willing to go, I'm okay to go ahead of you, but you can't get too close to me, and you can't grab my clothes or push me! Either let the sturgeon follow me, and you follow the sturgeon. Hong Tao took the oar, he was not afraid to go ahead, but he was afraid that there would be someone behind him, if he really encountered something, he would not even have a chance to turn around and run, and he would really become a meat shield.

"Don't, I'm scared after walking the most, I'll go in the middle, don't push you, never touch you!" Fat Bu swears by the sky.

Just when this brother was in three rows, Anaya had already walked more than ten meters, and it was easy to lose it at a distance of more than ten meters in this kind of wood, and Hong Tao didn't care to listen to the fat man's oath, so he quickly used the oars to open the branches above his head, and the cat followed with small steps.

Although there is not much water in the woods, the soil on the ground is very soft, and it is watery when you step on it, but it does not sink, and it is not sticky to your feet, probably because the root system of the plant is too developed, and there are thick and thin roots and thick fallen leaves everywhere, which feels a bit like stepping on a Simmons mattress.
