- The
- Amazon
- rainforest
- is
- the
- largest
- rainforest
- in
- the
- world.
- It
- covers
- nearly
- 400,000
- square
- miles
- of
- territory
- in
- South
- America.
- The
- forest
- is
- home
- to
- many
- animal
- species,
- including
- jaguars,
- black
- caimans,
- and
- pink
- dolphins.
- Some
- animals,
- like
- monkeys
- and
- anteaters,
- are
- abundant
- while
- others
- are
- rare-
- although
- all
- animals
- are
- endangered
- in
- the
- Amazon
- due
- to
- human
- activity.Jungle
- animals
- are
- dangerous
- to
- humans.
- Most
- of
- them
- are
- carnivorous
- and
- have
- sharp
- teeth
- and
- claws.
- They're
- also
- territorial,
- which
- means
- they
- will
- attack
- if
- they
- feel
- threatened.Some
- examples
- of
- jungle
- animals
- include
- jaguars,
- monkeys,
- and
- snakes.
- All
- of
- these
- animals
- are
- dangerous,
- but
- jaguars
- are
- especially
- deadly.
- They
- have
- large
- canine
- teeth
- that
- can
- penetrate
- even
- thick
- animal
- skin,
- making
- them
- very
- dangerous.Jungle
- animals
- are
- also
- used
- for
- food
- or
- clothing
- by
- some
- people.
- Many
- people
- live
- in
- the
- Amazon,
- and
- they
- hunt
- animals
- for
- food
- and
- clothing.
- They
- also
- use
- monkeys
- as
- sources
- of
- food,
- entertainment,
- and
- medicine.
- However,
- many
- of
- these
- people
- have
- limited
- resources
- and
- can't
- give
- all
- of
- their
- catches
- away;
- they
- end
- up
- eating
- them
- or
- selling
- them
- to
- make
- a
- living.Some
- animals
- have
- been
- domesticated
- over
- time
- for
- use
- as
- pets
- or
- livestock.Many
- species
- of
- monkeys
- and
- apes
- are
- commonly
- kept
- as
- pets
- throughout
- South
- America.
- They're
- usually
- captured
- as
- babies
- and
- raised
- in
- cages
- before
- being
- released
- back
- into
- the
- wild.Caiman
- species
- are
- also
- commonly
- domesticated
- as
- pets-
- they're
- usually
- kept
- in
- fish
- tanks
- and
- never
- leave
- the enclosure.
