Activity 3

Wildlife:Describe the following animals and then ways of preventing their encounter.

Cocodrile: Strong, agile and intelligent, this animal is one of the most dangerous in the rainforest and in the world. This animal can smell a dead member of his specie around 3 kilometres. It has scales that allow it to sense all movements in the water. The way to prevent their encounter is to avoid deep rivers, lakes and all kind of swamps. 

Poison dart frog (Dendrobatidae): These poisonous frogs are common in South and Central America. It is really small, about 1.5 cm. They have kaloid toxins through their skin, which have possibilities to kill you if you don't have good health.To prevent them, you can´t be in so humid places.

Snakes: These long and legless reptile, has (or maybe not, depending the specie) strong poison in it's fangs. Some of them (like the Anacondas or the Constrictors), don't have poison, but they are really long. They use their lenght to squeeze animals to death. Then, they dismantle their jaw. They usually hide in tall grass, so avoid these type of places.

  Weather:

Describe rainforest climate and ways to deal with it.
Most of the time in the rainforest, rain falls (it's called RAINforest for some reason). The best way to deal with it, is using good wood to build your shelter.
