As one of the most magnificent rivers in the world, the Amazon River has a long history of millions of years. The river was discovered by the Spaniard Francisco de Orellan in 1542. The river once originated in the young Andes mountain range and flowed into the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon River has more than 1,000 tributaries, forming a dense river network in South America. The river flows through the Amazon forest - the world's largest rain forest, accounting for 60,000,000 square kilometers. With a length of more than 6,500km, the Amazon River is second only to the length of the Nile River (Egypt). The river is up to 100m deep and up to 40km wide and holds more water than any other river in the world, possibly equal to the total flow of the world's top 10 rivers combined. The Amazon River accounts for about one-fifth of the world's total river flow and has the world's largest drainage basin.

Why is the Amazon River so mysterious?

Closely attached to the Amazon River, the Amazon forest, which is considered the "lungs of the Earth", is a "living paradise" of rare plants and animals.

With an area of ​​about 7 million square kilometers, the Amazon forest contains more than 1/10 of the world's animal and plant species, about 2.5 million insect species and tens of thousands of plant species. This is where tribes and aboriginal people have settled for thousands of years. Here there are still traces of the American Indian Tribe that has long lived and been attached to the Amazon jungle. They live separately from outside life, living like the life of primitive people. They do not wear clothes, and their livelihood mainly depends on hunting and gathering. Their weapons are spikes, wooden bows and arrows, and their houses are roofed with wild forest leaves. They have a wild life in the mysterious Amazon mountains. When they see a plane, they immediately react by raising their bows and shooting. Obviously, you have to go once to know that on the other side of the world, there still exists such tribes, which mark and preserve the ancient ways of life and activities of mankind that still remain until today. Now. There is no need for radio or any other modern materials, but people can still live based on the power of nature. It is the magical connection between humans and nature, where human life originates from the beginning until now.

With its great flow, every year the Amazon River brings to this place fertile alluvial streams full of minerals. Therefore, it plays an important role in the development of the rain forest, and is also where many fish species live. Including the existence of many giant and most dangerous sea monsters in the world. The Amazon is an ideal place to explore a special ecosystem, but it also contains potential dangers that can take human lives at any time.

Giant aquatic monster in the Amazon

Rumors of giant aquatic monsters in the Amazon have spread for centuries. Indigenous people told of large and mysterious creatures discovered in the riverbed. Although there is no specific evidence to prove their existence, many people still believe that these giant sea monsters live in the Amazon river.

Many scientists and explorers have been fascinated by the legend of the Amazon and they have tried to research and explore it more deeply. However, to date, there is no specific evidence proving the existence of giant aquatic monsters. Some scientists argue that they are just a product of human imagination and part of the extraordinary biodiversity of the Amazon. However, when explored, the biodiversity in the Amazon is truly something to admire.

This river is not only one of the largest sources of fresh water in the world but is also home to many species of fish, reptiles and birds. Some researchers believe that perhaps some special species of fish or reptiles have made people believe in the existence of giant aquatic monsters. For example, electric eels, crocodiles... they are big and ferocious, easily misunderstood as giant aquatic monsters.

Some explorers and locals are convinced that giant aquatic monsters really exist in the Amazon. They told stories of seeing a giant dark figure swimming quickly in the river, spraying water high into the air. These people claim that these monsters are not only huge but also very ferocious.

To solve the mystery of whether giant aquatic monsters really exist in the Amazon River, scientists are trying to conduct various research and discoveries. They installed equipment and automatic surveillance cameras and conducted long-term observations on the river. However, until now there has been no convincing evidence to prove the authenticity of these rumors.

Although the existence of giant sea monsters in the Amazon is still a mystery, it has inspired people to explore the mysteries of nature. Whether true or not, the Amazon River, as one of the most important ecosystems on Earth, deserves more of our attention and protection.
