How dangerous it is to cross the jungle alone. There will be not only lions and tigers, but also crocodiles and poisonous snakes, so you must take relevant safety measures when crossing the jungle. The following is a description of the matters needing attention in jungle exploration. Wild exploration is not to play with life, so we must be fully prepared.

Wild Animals

When encountering large wild animals (such as bears, leopards, rhinoceroses, etc.), it is forbidden to scream loudly and run around. Animals generally don't take the initiative to attack humans unless they are frightened and mistakenly believe that they are attacked and fight back. Calm is probably the only magic weapon at this time. 2) Only a few poisonous snakes in the world are aggressive and take the initiative to attack. Unless you accidentally step on it, it may be angry and defend itself. 3) If you are unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake (if you can't judge whether it is a poisonous snake, it should be treated as poisonous), except for emergency treatment, psychological stability will probably improve your survival several times.

Walk

You should remember several important safety tips: Don't run away immediately when you see a jaguar. When encountering dangerous snakes, such as pythons, silver ring snakes and spear-headed snakes, you must run away quickly. Avoid most insects-most of them have special defense systems, and it is far smarter to be at peace with them than to attack them first. If spiders and scorpions climb on you, just brush them gently, slapping them will often lead to bites. Learn some self-defense skills from indigenous people, such as rubbing garlic on your body, which can drive away bugs and snakes. To survive in the jungle, you don't need chocolate, soda or CD player. Your indigenous guide will ask you to throw them away rudely. Guides know that in order to survive, you only need four basic elements-water, food, shelter and fire.

water

spring water, river water and lake water can all be used as water sources. But don't forget the water vines. They can be seen everywhere in the tropical rain forest. In many cases, river water and lake water are not drinkable, but the water vines are always full of sweet slurry. Just cut off a section about one meter long with a knife and drink the liquid flowing out of it. The big leaves of tropical plants can be used to collect rainwater or dew, and you can also make a special solar distillation pot to collect drinking water. When you are not sure about drinking raw water, you can boil it or add iodine tablets to it to kill parasites and other bacteria.

don't carry things like water purifiers, which will increase your burden in vain. In practical use, the filter element will be blocked by impurities or oxidized by substances in water after a few days.

food

you can take some rice, coffee, tea and sugar with you when you leave, but the jungle, especially the tropical rain forest, is rich in bioactive compounds, many of which can be used as natural food. Such as potatoes and taro. A large number of spinless guinea pigs exist in the jungle, which is a kind of delicious food that is not difficult to get. Its meat tastes like beef. Caiman (South American crocodile) tastes good, too. It can be smoked or roasted. Squeezing lemon juice from the jungle on the meat will be more delicious. In addition, when fishing in streams, you can often harvest delicious food such as sunfish with spiny tail. The nutritional value of green vegetables is unparalleled. You can pick the core like spinach from the leaves of palms. It is very delicious and can be eaten raw or cooked with poultry into a pot of fragrant "chicken soup".

shelter and fire

shelter is the easiest to obtain among several factors that sustain life. A simple "rat-tail-shaped" waterproof shelter can be quickly built with the wide leaves of palm trees and branches of trees. If you use more tree branches as a frame and tie them together with vines, you can also make a more exquisite triangular shed, which is enough to make you live safely when night comes or heavy rain falls suddenly.

It is extremely important to make a fire to keep warm, cook and boil water in the jungle. Indigenous people often carry kindling, but for people from modern cities, it is enough to carry a high-temperature lighter, such as a magnesium lighter or an ethane lighter.

Finally, you'd better prepare a pair of high-quality boots, a poncho and a military mosquito net before you leave. If you can also bring a sharp machete, which can be used as both a self-defense weapon and a tool to cut down trees for food, your trip to the jungle will have another guarantee.

Extreme jungle adventure-Amazon

The Amazon River is beautiful, rich in resources, mysterious and dangerous. The Amazon basin is located in the north of South America, including a vast area of six countries including Brazil. The year-round climate is hot and humid, with heavy rain. The daytime temperature is about 33 degrees Celsius, and the nighttime temperature is about 23 degrees Celsius. Amazon rain forest is the largest rain forest in the world, and its area is bigger than that of Europe, with 7 million square kilometers. It extends from the low slopes of the Andes to the Atlantic coast of Brazil.

The Amazon basin has the largest number of plant species in the world. Entering the forest, you seem to be in a mythical world. Looking up here, I can't see the blue sky, looking down with moss, the impenetrable forest is humid and sultry, and my feet are slippery everywhere. It is not only difficult but also dangerous for people to walk in the dim light and infested with insects and snakes. At the foot are ground vegetation such as Selaginella, fern and epiphytic pineapple. There are all kinds of herbs, shrubs and short trees in the forest, as well as tall palm trees and cocoa trees. There are also all kinds of epiphytic plants on the trees, and the vines are winding and airtight.

There is a kind of water tree in the forest. A thick and round branch is cut off from the tree, and the water drips from the edge of the cross section of the tree, which tastes very sweet. There are also many trees that can cure diseases, such as snake venom, yellow fever and diarrhea, as well as wine and dyes. Amazon rain forest is like a "treasure chest". A tree named "Bath" in the forest is hard and red, which is a good wood and a raw material for making dyes. There is also a tree containing minerals, which will leave a mass of Shi Ying after being burned. The rubber trees here are over 61 meters long and grow extremely high.

"Giant trees" such as Brazil nuts and ant nests are usually 71 to 81 meters high, which block the sun. Their leaves form a canopy, like an umbrella, which blocks the light. So few low plants grow under the tree. The jungle is inhabited by monkeys, sloths, hummingbirds, macaws, and murderous pythons (no creature in Amazon can make people so afraid and awe, it is the largest and most powerful snake in the world. Fully grown people can reach 31 feet in length and weigh nearly 151 kilograms.

in terms of appearance, it is hard to match in the new world. Since ancient times, the boa constrictor rán has been known as a silent killer in the rivers and forests of South America. Dominate the top class of Amazon predation. There are more than 1811 kinds of giant butterflies, more than 211 kinds of mosquitoes and countless bats in the Amazon jungle. There are caimans, freshwater turtles and aquatic mammals such as manatees and freshwater dolphins living in the water. On the land, jaguars, slender-waisted cats, tapirs, capybara and armadillos qiúyú.

There are 2,511 amazing fish species, including piranha, tukuli, giant bone tongue fish, Anunna fish, Piraba fish and electric eel, which are so complicated that biologists can't recognize them. More than 1611 kinds of birds. There are many kinds of wild animals in the Amazon plain, and the number is rich. At the end of 19, according to the statistics of a British naturalist, there were 14,712 species of animals in * * *, of which more than 8,111 species were unknown. Now there are more than one million known species of animals and birds, and there are at least 27 species of beetles. There may be millions more species waiting to be discovered.

According to Amazon, it is a narrow escape. There are nine kinds of dangers lurking between the jungle and the water: crocodiles, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, piranhas, infectious diseases, drug dealers, guerrillas and hijackers. You never know what will happen next minute.
