Fauna, People, Culture, and Religion Fauna
We could see a lot of animals in the Amazon. Here are the types: insects, reptiles, fish,mammals and a lot of others. These are some of the animals we saw on the Amazon: Barrigudo Monkey, Frog, Sloth, Macaw, Red-faced Monkey, Toucan, Boto Dolphin and alot of other animals. These are the animals that live in the Amazon Rainforest and that we saw. Even though we couldn't see all of the animals that live on the Amazon, we had a lot of fun learning about them. Some of these animals are unique in the region they are: Black Caiman, the Black Caiman is also endangered, also the Giant Otter is unique in the amazon and is also endangered, another animal that is unique in the region is the harpy eagle. These animals are adapted by supporting the temperature, humidity and if they don't adapt the animal will become extinct. These animals have a big impact on the region, for example they eat the plantation and the fruits and plants from the forest, and they can kill people. The Amazon forest is the most biodiverst forest in the world.

What we did on day four.
First we woke up early like always and then we went to eat breakfast. At 9 o’clock we got in a boat and started to go to the meeting of the rivers, of the Solimoes River and the Rio Negro. The boat ride took approximately 3 hours. In the boat we played truco and we talked. We saw a bridge and an aquatic gas station. When we got there the Solimoes River had like a sand color and the Rio Negro was like coffee. We had lunch in a place that looked like an island. We had lunch and then we saw two small sloths. We came back to the hotel at 6 o’clock. We had some time to work on the project, had dinner and slept because tomorrow we were going to come back to Brasília.
