The Amazon River: Unveiling the Terror of the 'Human Forbidden Zone'

The Amazon River, one of the largest rivers on earth, contains endless mysteries and dangers. Its vast basin has numerous tributaries, rapid water flow, and rich biodiversity. It also breeds the most terrifying biological communities in the world.

Today, let us uncover the Amazon River's mystery and explore its hidden crises.

First, let's take a look back at those gruesome piranha mauling incidents. In 2005, an 11-year-old boy in Peru accidentally fell into a piranha pond while playing and was eaten away until only a skeleton remained in just a few minutes.

Coincidentally, on October 30, 2020, three people accidentally knocked over a beehive while fishing in the lake. To avoid the swarm attack, they chose to jump into the river. As a result, one of them was eaten by piranhas beyond recognition.

These cases fully prove the terrifying status of piranhas in the Amazon basin.

However, the dangers in the Amazon run far deeper than that. Anacondas, giant snakes that can exceed 10 meters long and weigh over 225 kilograms, live in this mysterious land. Their hunting method is extremely unique, wrapping their prey around to suffocate it to death and then opening its massive mouth to swallow the prey whole.

Although the case of anaconda cannibalism has not been officially confirmed, people who disappear in the Amazon basin are often believed to have been attacked by anacondas.
