I follow this vegan on letterboxd who almost always includes a "vegan alert" in her reviews and they're usually hilarious but occasionally also incredibly tone deaf as was the case in the Zone of Interest

It was late at night when you heard those sounds, those sounds that you knew better than anything else. Sounds that you are used to hearing a bit too much. It wasn't unusual to hear them in this district, hybrids fought really often and for almost everything. But it was always between hybrids, never with a human, it was one of the rules and everyone followed them. Except for that night. You were strolling in the streets, pushing an old shopping trolley, looking for things that you could sell at the border when you heard those sounds. Walking faster, you went to where they were coming from and turned into a dark alley, seeing some hybrids hitting another man. By his scent, you immediately knew the victim was a human. Growling and flattening your ears, you ran towards them and pushed the hybrids, barking aggressively. By luck, you were pretty popular in the district. Even if one of the hybrids was a Komodo dragon, also known as KD6, they all stepped back and walked away grumbling that you were always here to ruin the fun. Hearing that, you sighed and picked up your ears, turning your face to the young man who was lying on the floor, holding his ribs and whining. You crouched next to him and moved some strands from his face. What the hell is a human was doing in this district? After he fainted, you put him into your shopping trolley and brought him to the warehouse where you were living with other hybrids, growling at them when they came a little too close. When you entered your "room", you put the young man onto your old mattress and quickly grabbed a bottle of water that you poured on an old rag to clean his face. The contact of the cold water against his skin woke him up. When he saw your face, he jumped and stood back, leaning his back against the dirty wall. Always the same reaction. Wringing out the rag, you sighed and raised your hands, making him understand you didn't want to hurt him. "What... What am I doing here?" He asked, looking all around. "Making too much noise." You answered, rubbing the base of your nose and flattening your ears a little. "But the real question is: What are you doing in this district? Humans are not allowed here." You waited for a response but he said nothing, just stared at you, eyes wide. You knew what he was thinking. First, he was probably surprised that you were able to talk; a lot of humans thought hybrids from your district didn't know how to talk. Second, he was trying to understand why he was in this room and why he was still alive. Third, he was wondering if you would eat him because it was well known, hybrids were monsters who ate humans... Last, he wanted to know if you would share him with other hybrids or if you would eat him all alone. Always the same reaction and the same stupid questions. "Pathetic." You sighed again, standing up and looking in one of your boxes for something to eat. "I won't eat you, you fool. I'm just a hybrid, not a monster." "Why did you bring me here?" "If I brought you back in the human district, people would think I was the one who attacked you and I've got enough trouble. So, what are you doing in my district?" "I don't know." He answered, relaxing a little. "I was strolling in my area when... I don't remember. It's all black." He rubbed his forehead and frowned, trying to remember. "How... How did you get rid of the other hybrids?" "I'm pretty famous here and they know I bite hard." You shrugged, handing him a box of cakes. "Sorry, it's all that I have." He slowly grabbed the box and whispered a low thank you, asking you why you helped him. Chuckling, you repeated that you weren't a monster and told him he could sleep on your bed, showing the dirty mattress. You knew it wasn't the kind of bed he was used to sleeping in but you had nothing better to offer. Eating your cakes, you leaned against the wooden board you used as a door and sat on the floor, being careful not to sit on your tail. You smelled few scents and, knowing it was the other hybrids who were waiting behind the door, you let a deep grown escape from your throat. Giggling, you heard them run away and ate another cake when you noticed the way the young man was staring at you. "Wolves defend their territories." You smirked without looking at him. "Wolves..." He repeated, frowning and trying to understand what you meant. "Oh, wolves! You're a wolf." "Half wolf, half black Siberian husky." His jaw dropped but he shook his head, eating a cookie, asked for your name. It caught him off guard when you answered that you gave up your name a few years ago. He then asked why and you simply explained that you didn't need one, adding that everyone did the same thing, even the ones who were coming from kennels. Shaking his hands in front of him, wincing at the pain in his ribs, he repeated the word "kennel" and asked how someone could be placed in a place reserved for animals. Chuckling slightly at the innocent question, you answered that a lot of baby hybrids were placed in kennels if they were judged as too "feisty" or if they didn't fit the expectations. All these hybrids ended in the streets and some of them became criminals, robbing shops and banks or abducting people. Abducting people... Perking up your ears, you stood up quickly and came closer to your guest, sniffing him frantically. He moved a little but you grabbed his shoulders and continued what you were doing. "What... What are you doing?" "Some hybrids abduct humans for money. Humans are really appreciated for illegal fights." You told him before turning to the door. "Gecko 5! Come here right now!" Almost immediately, a young boy with brown scales on his face pushed the wooden board, asking what you wanted. "Call German shepherd 28, Rottweiler 17 and 25, Boa constrictor 61, Eagle 3, Jaguar 36 and 49, Grizzly 7, 11 and 12 and tell them to bring me the Rebels of Komodo here! Now!" The young boy nodded and ran into the warehouse, calling the hybrids you listed. Frowning, your guest repeated some of the numbers and asked why you said numbers. Focusing back on him, you explained that the hybrids who were living in this warehouse had a number. For example, Eagle 3 was the third eagle of the warehouse, and it was the same for the other hybrids like Crocodile 12 or Poodle 65. "And you are..." "I'm mixed 9. The number of mixed hybrids is low because hybrids don't want to mix. Pure hybrids have more chances to be bought or adopted by human families." "But... You're not animals, you're half-humans, don't you?" He asked, tilting his head and frowning again. "It's funny you say that because when I spoke earlier, you were surprised that I was able to talk." You smirked, checking the wounds on his face. "We don't have medicine, here, we don't have the money to buy it. Well, you're gonna stay here for the night and, tomorrow, I'll take you to the border." "What about the... Rebels of Komodo?" You looked straight into his eyes and silently made him understand that it would be better for him not to know what would happen to these hybrids. You helped him to lie down and left your room, asking Malinois dog 18 to stake the place out while you were speaking with other hybrids. "If someone puts a finger on him, I'll eat everyone, okay?" The hybrid nodded and sat in front of the door, telling you he would take care of your guest as if he was the apple of his eye. You kissed his forehead and called some other hybrids, asking them about what they found during the day or if they had any problems with other hybrids. It was your duty as the leader of the warehouse. You were pretty young to be the leader but, when your dad, who was a wolf hybrid and the former boss of this place, died, everyone voted for you to be the new leader. Even if you were only 15 when you took your father's place, you were mature and all the hybrids knew you would do your best for them. But, other hybrids didn't like it and left the warehouse, saying a kid like you couldn't take care of everyone. But you did and you were good at it. After almost two hours, the hybrids who were going after the Rebels of Komodo came back with the "criminal" team. Even if they were called like that, there was actually just one Komodo dragon among them and, of course, he was their leader. "Let me guess, the bastard wants to scold us, right?" KD6 smirked. "We touched one of your oh so lovely humans so you're probably really mad, aren't you?" "Tell me what happened." You answered coldly, trying to stay calm as to not growl or wag your tail. "Who asked you to do that? How much did you get paid? Tell me and I'll let you go." "We did it for fun." "I know you, you're not the kind of people who hurts humans just for fun. I know someone paid you. Tell me who." "Why would I-" "Please." You cut him off, coming closer to him and looking straight into his reptile eyes, flattening your ears again. "I know you left the warehouse because you thought I wasn't good enough to take care of all of you. I know you don't trust me but I do my best to keep all of these hybrids safe and I know you do your best to keep your mates safe too. You're smart and you know that, if you hurt humans, other humans will come to hurt us, or worse. I know someone asked you so, now, tell me who." For the first time since you knew him, KD6 lowered his head and tried his best not to cry. Whispering it was okay, you wrapped your arms around his broad shoulders and patted his head. He then told you a human asked him to abduct this human, giving him his name and appearance. They were paid 650k won. "I'm sorry." He cried into your neck. "Tell him we have nothing against him. But we... we need money, we have nothing to eat." "I would give you the money if you asked." Your guest said, coming from your room, holding his ribs. "Can you give me the name of the man?" "Choi Dokyeom." Hearing that name, the human chuckled and lowered his head, saying he wasn't even surprised. When you asked him if he knew this Choi Dokyeom, his answer caught you off guard. It was even hard to believe. "Oh yes, I know him, he's my step-brother. I know he wanted my place but I didn't imagine he would go this far." He focused back on KD6. "How did he contact you?" "He found me at the border. Some hybrids go there to get some jobs. When I said yes, he gave me that." The hybrid answered, taking a folded paper from his back pocket of his old jeans. "It's a photo of you with your name and some of your habits." "Okay. Well, I have an idea; however, I need you to trust and help me." "Explain and I'll tell you if we accept or not." You told him, crossing your arms on your chest. After the human told you his plan, you shook your head, saying it was too dangerous. You couldn't let the hybrids take such a risk. You added you couldn't agree and were about to say something else but KD6 cut you off. Caressing your arm with his tail, he said he was okay with the plan. You wanted to disapprove but, smirking, he took your hand and squeezed it slightly. "I accepted the contract." He said when his mates came closer. "We accepted and we have to take responsibility for our mistakes. Don't worry, boss, we will be back soon." You sighed and looked at your guest warning him that, if something would happen to your friends, you would find him and make him pay. Then, you told everyone to go to sleep, that a long day was waiting for all of you in a few hours, and went back to your room after saying to the Rebels of Komodo to wake you up before leaving the warehouse. But they were gone when you woke up later and you didn't like it. Two months. Two months passed without any news of the Rebels of Komodo and, the day after they left with that human, the authorities of the city enhanced the security at the border. No human could enter the district and no hybrids could leave it. The Police even started to patrol our streets, asking your friends how many hybrids there were in specific places, if there were a lot of children, following and frightening everyone. Like the dark, old times. Almost 70 years ago, there was a bloody war between humans and hybrids, both sides being guilty. Your father and bearded vulture 1, who was one of the oldest hybrids of the warehouse, explained to you that no side tried to understand the other. That everyone was just afraid for their friends and families. The war went for more than a year before a peace treaty was signed but violence didn't end. Both sides continued to fight until the city was literally split into two districts 40 years ago: The human one and the hybrid one. But, since a lot of hybrids were used to "working" for humans, they agreed to be their pets or used for breeding. Your parents were part of the hybrids who didn't want to be seen as monsters or pets and lived in the slum district. Because yes, the ones who decided to split the city were humans but they didn't tell hybrids they wouldn't have electricity, hospitals, shops, etc. Their district just became a huge dump and they have to live with what they could find at the waste collection center which was a neutral place between both districts. But, even if humans betrayed hybrids, even if some of them used them, your parents raised you with love and respect for both species. They didn't want you to have hate in your heart. And, for years, you didn't have it. Even when your mom was abducted for breeding or when your father was killed by hunters, even then. But this time, more than betraying you, the human took some hybrids with him and you didn't know where they were, what happened to them and what this traitor said to his district. You failed, you trusted him when you shouldn't and you lost some of your friends. It was your first failure, the biggest one. And you thought things were getting worse. Eyes wide open and ears attacked by all the police sirens you could hear in the block, you stood up abruptly when you heard Gecko 5 running in the warehouse. Even if he was far from your room, you could hear his heart and the little boy was afraid. "M9!" He screamed, using your nickname. "They're coming! A lot of cars are coming here!" You told everyone to stay in the warehouse, ordering to some hybrids, who were stronger than the others, that if they heard gunshots, they had to take everyone and escape through the sewers. "Let us come with you!" Crocodile 14 told you, refusing to leave you behind. "I need you to keep the children safe. I need all the strong hybrids to keep them safe." You replied, taking his huge hands in yours. "If something happens to me, I expect you to listen to vulture 1." Everyone nodded and children hugged you, saying they loved you and you were the best leader. You smiled, nodded to the oldest hybrid and ran to the front door, turning on all the light projectors you installed all around the warehouse and that are working off generators. When you went outside, the whole street was lit up and you quickly noticed the snipers placed on the other buildings, their rifle scopes reflecting the light. In front of you, there were five police cars and approximately 20 cops, pointing their guns at you. At the end of the street, there were three or four big black vans. They were here for you, all of you. Looking at all the cops, a smirk curves across your lips. You took off your old leather jacket and threw it on the floor before cracking your neck and fingers. You knew you had no chance against them, you were obviously weaker against their guns but you wouldn't give up without fighting. A loud growl escaped from your throat and you flashed your teeth when a car door opened and you saw him. That bastard was here too. "Y/n, don't do that!" He shouted, coming to you carefully, his hands up. "You betrayed us!" You barked back, about to run and jump on him, but not for a hug. "I trusted you and... Wait! How do you know my name?! Who told you?!" "It's me." Your eyes opened wide and your heart skipped a beat when you heard that voice. You were too focused on the human that you didn't notice the hybrid who was coming closer on your right side. Even if you didn't hear that voice since you were five it was engraved in your mind and you would never forget it. Tears rolling down your cheeks and ears flat, you turned your face slowly and finally saw her, more beautiful than ever before even if she looked tired, A sweet smile on her lips and eyes full of love. "M...M... Mom..." You breathed with a shaking voice. She nodded, tears reaching her eyes and, immediately, you ran to her. You both fell on your knees and cried in each other arms, more than happy to be reunited after all these years. "It's okay, mom's here, now." She whispered, caressing your hair while you were whining in her neck. "KD6 told me all you did for them. I'm so proud of you, Y/n." "I missed you so much, mommy." One by one, the cops put down their guns when your mom lifted a hand at them and you heard someone coming closer to you. You raised your head and looked at the human, noticing the tired expression across his face, his red eyes, and his loud heartbeat. "The Rebels of Komodo are waiting in the vans." He smiled shyly. "They weren't arrested and they helped me to find my step-brother and your mother. I'm sorry, it took time." "He's a really good man." Your mom told you before looking and him and smiling. "Thank you for everything, Seungcheol." "We're not done. Y/n, can you call the other?" He asked you and chuckled when you frowned. "We will take them to the other district. I'll tell you everything later, I promise." You nodded slightly and, holding your mom's hand, you went back to the warehouse, calling all the hybrids. Honestly, you didn't know what was happening but, if your mom trusted Seungcheol, you trusted him too. It took a long time but the waiting was worth it and, after so many years, the wall between both districts was destroyed, joining them together. Even if people were still a bit afraid of each other, a press release was made, stating that humans and hybrids should be considered as equals. There were a lot of companies that helped to restore the old and dirty district. You even had the honor to be proclaimed "The Hybrid Ambassador" for all you did for them, which was incredible and so gratifying. But, even if peace was back, you've continued to live in what was used to be the hybrid district. As the Hybrid Ambassador, you should live in a big house with a fancy garden but you said you wanted to live near to your mom so you rented a simple apartment. You were used to living with minimum stuff, you didn't need a palace. You had everything you needed and, because you wanted to be useful, you even opened an animal shelter. After all these years, you had a peaceful life and enjoyed it. You were feeding the dogs when one of your co-workers, a young woman who always teased that you were the one everyone wanted to adopt in the shelter, came in the backyard and told you someone wanted to see you. Cleaning your hands on your apron, you walked to the reception room when you smelled a specific scent. A smile stretching your lips and waving your tail, you ran to the man and jumped in his arms. "I missed you so much." You told him, pulling over and looking at him. "Wow, you're handsome, today! Important meeting?" "Yeah." Seungcheol sighed, pouting a little. "But now, work's over and I can relax. Finally. Anyway, how are you and your mom?" "Fine, really fine. She even found another man, a nice Doberman. Now, I have a step-brother and a step-sister, it's weird." You chuckled awkwardly. "And I'm fine too. We had 7 adoptions this week, it's awesome!" "Glad to see you happy, Y/n. Did you bring Flash with you?" "Yes, he's playing with the other dogs. Come!" You grabbed his hand and went back to the backyard, calling your border collie. It immediately came to you and, seeing Seungcheol waved his tail frantically. Flash loved the young man and, every time it saw him, it played with him. "Hey, boy! How are you today? Yeah, you're a good boy." Seuncheol giggled, petting the dog while you crouched next to them. "Guess who's gonna adopt you today." "Wait, wait, wait!" You exclaimed, perking your ears up and shaking your hands, lifting your head to your friend. "You can't adopt Flash, it's my dog." "I know but it won't be the only one who will come with me, today." You frowned and saw him stand up before looking straight into your eyes, smirking a little. Blinking, you felt the heat burning your cheeks when he helped you to stand up and came closer, keeping your hand in his. "I'd love you to come with me too." Seungcheol smiled, tilting his head. "I'd really love that." "Would... would you adopt me? I'm not-" "I don't want to adopt you, Y/n." He cut you off, chuckling. "I want you to come with me, to...be with me." "But you're a human and I'm a hybrid. What people will think if we-" "If you ask this it means you already thought about that and you're not totally against the idea, right? And I don't care about what people think. I know what I want, who I want." Opening your eyes wide while a huge smile stretched across your lips and your tail started to wag wildly. You jumped on him and wrapped your arms around his neck, kissing him and nodding against his lips. His arms around your waist, he held you closer to him and gave you back your kiss before pulling away and smiling. "And to think that I was afraid you wouldn't love me back." "I loved you the day you brought my mother back to me. I was just afraid because we're different." You admitted, lowering your head and flattening your ears. Softly, he kissed your forehead and told you, you didn't have to be afraid anymore. You nodded slightly and pecked his lips before realizing that your co-worker was looking at you through the window. She shouted that she was right, that people wanted to adopt you too, then ran away leaving Seungcheol and you alone; laughing.

amazon Headquarters

If you're venturing to a part of the world with the most unique species of animals on the planet, you're, probably in for some interesting, finds, join us as we explore some of the most bizarre amazon discoveries Cayman to begin things. The apex predator of the Amazon River is a strange and terrifying creature, but by no means is it safe from other predators. In this intense jungle, the black caiman is essentially a gigantic alligator. These beasts can grow up to 20 feet long and they're much heavier than Nile crocodiles. Their diet consists of well everything, monkeys, piranhas, deer and even anaconda are all on the menu. These prehistoric predators are also partial to people, but not exactly in a good way. In 2010, a biologist that was cleaning a fish was attacked by a caiman living below her house, and while she was able to fend it off, it wouldn't leave empty-handed taking away one of her legs as a prize. Apparently, the brood had been under her houseboat for over eight months, just waiting, hungrily welcome to the Amazon, the green anaconda, with all of the biodiversity and incredible variations of flora and fauna in the Amazon. It'S not actually surprising to find that the largest snake in the world calls this place its home. The green anaconda is not strictly speaking, the longest snake in the world, but it is by far the heaviest females are generally larger than the males and they can reach up to 550 pounds growing over 30 feet in length. Also, the creature is just 12 inches in diameter, so while it isn't the longest, it's a pretty formidable snake. The good news is, however, that the green anaconda is not venomous. The bad news is, it can still pretty easily kill large prey like deer came in and even Jaguars anacondas will use their immense weight along with their strength in order to suffocate and crush their living meals. Now it may be hard to picture a 30-foot snake sneaking up on you, but they use stealth in order to hunt their prey. They are a Palma. Now, if you're worried about swimming in piranha infested waters, you want to reevaluate your list of fears with this next discovery. The ara Palma is a carnivorous fish that takes up just a little bit more space than a piranha. Does these behemoths can grow up to nine feet long weighing about 200 pounds? The ARA Palma is encased in what appears to be armor like plating, so it doesn't really have a whole lot of fear of anything in the river they mostly feast on fish and birds and are forced to float near the surface of the river to breathe air. As well as water now, if you weren't scared enough already, these fish are actually so intense and monstrous that even their tongue has teeth the giant otter. When you see a family of otters playing around in a river or even the ocean, often you may think. Oh, how cute this is at least partly because otters tend to be small. The Amazon, however, is home to the largest species of this marine mammal, the aptly titled giant otter. The name really says it. All males can grow up to six feet long and the adults of the species eat up to nine pounds of food every day. While this may still seem adorable. These animals actually hunt in packs and have been seen eating a giant anaconda and a five-foot caiman. So maybe less adorable and more vicious than you would imagine they are getting more rare, as human intervention threatens their way of life, but these capable hunters are still known to the locals as the river wolves, the Candiru, not everything, that's terrifying in the Amazon is giant, Though, admittedly, most creatures are the can do or tiny parasitic fish that work to latch themselves onto a larger fish's gills in order to feast on their blood, they use their sharp spines to hold themselves in place and the bigger fish can't get them off. This is all well and good, and may not seem like such a big deal, but there's more to the story than meets the eye. There is at least one documented case of a can darou launching itself up a man's urethra while he was urinating and the spiny fish got lodged in the tract at the time of emergency surgery. It was attempting to burrow into his testicles. It'S probably at this point that we should stress that this incident is very rare and it may stop you from using the Amazon River as a toilet, bull sharks. When you're spending all of your time worrying about the dangers of the Amazon, you may not get the full experience of the beauty along with the importance of the river, but you also might not be expecting a killer from the sea. Bull sharks actually live in the Amazon River. They can be found as far up the river as Peru, 2,500 miles away from the ocean. The bull shark special kidneys are able to alter the salinity of the surrounding water, which allows these unique predators to survive in fresh water. They also tend to reach about 11 feet in length and can weigh approximately 700 pounds. Not surprisingly, the tremendous fish are some of the more frequent attackers of humans and they tend to live near densely populated areas with its multiple rows of razor-sharp teeth and its proximity to towns and villages. The bull shark is considered one of the most dangerous sharks on the planet: electric eels, okay, so now you're getting concerned about being bitten and strangled and crushed, but another much less conventional thing to worry about with regards to the Amazonian wild is electrocution. That'S right! There are electric eels in the Amazon River and they pack a punch. These eels are relatives of the catfish family and can grow up to eight feet. Long they're, electric output has been measured to be about 600 volts and they generate this charge from specialized cells. The voltage is about five times the power of a typical electrical socket and can knock over a horse now, while 600 volts isn't usually enough to actually kill a full-grown. Human. Multiple shocks can quickly lead to respiratory failure along with heart attacks, also you're getting this kind of shock while inside of a River. Now it's not uncommon for people to be stunned after an eel attack and well just simply drown. Imagine just trying to swim in the Amazon after getting multiple shocks of 600 volts. There are a large number of disappearances in the region that have been attributed to eels, but whether they were attacking or just actually scared and surprised is actually unknown. The glass frog camouflage is a useful survival tactic for creatures that get fed upon, but sometimes in the Amazon. This technique leads to some interesting consequences. The glass frog is technically green, but if you were to see the specimen, that's probably not the first thing that you would believe the skin of the glass frog, as the name suggests, is entirely see-through. Looking at it from the underside, you can see all of the frogs internal organs working away, the heart pumping blood, the stomach digesting, and these strange creatures can grow up to 3 inches in length and have been known to eat their young. While this isn't actually unusual in frogs, the optics involved in this familial violence verges on something from an MC Escher painting the decoy building spider when threatened many creatures on the planet are likely to make themselves look big that way they can scare away their would-be predators. Cats will raise their backs, some lizards will flatten themselves. Even humans are told to look big when faced with bears it's a tried-and-true method and it's also somewhat related to the decoy building spider, but naturally it takes things just a little bit further. The recently discovered spider is thought to be of a species. That'S never before been seen and is actually only about 5 millimeters in length. However, it doesn't stop it from scaring off bigger, bugs the technique it uses to construct a giant spider shape out of dead, leaves and debris, makes the decoy complete with multiple legs and an abdomen. Thus, it seems like a gigantic spider is actually living in the web, but it's actually all just for show. The fascinating and brilliant work of nature is now being studied at research center, but very little is known of the tiny craftsman piranha, no matter where you go in the world, it's hard to beat the classic of bizarre discoveries. The red-bellied piranha is the original fear in the semi deep river and, despite all of the Hollywood hype, these little guys aren't exactly all as bad as they seem. When we say little, they do grow to be 12 inches long and hunted packs, but as for danger, they've got hilariously sharp teeth that interlock for maximum rending and tearing power. Usually, though, piranhas are actually just scavengers and they tend to eat things that are badly wounded or already dead, but what they do to their prey is the stuff of horror movies. A feeding frenzy of tens of these organic hacksaws will skeletonize their unfortunate food source in just a matter of minutes now. Attacks on humans do happen, but it's incredibly rare and usually linked to a provocation or starvation. The jesus lizard many creatures that are discovered in the amazon, walk and many live in the water, but very few do both at once. The affectionately, titled Jesus lizard is one of the more strange inhabitants of this wild Wonderland and it's truly a sight to behold. Also known as the common basilisk, the Jesus lizard is also named because it can literally walk on water. Well, it actually runs on water when escaping predators. The lizard splays its toes to reveal webbing, which, combined with its powerful legs, can allow the creature to run along the water surface. The Jesus lizard can do this for up to 60 feet. It'S a unique and powerful survival tactic, but it's actually a tiring exercise. After it's run, it's usually pretty far away from its foe and it sinks and swims at its leisure to another, less dangerous spot, the pink dolphin. At this point, you may be thinking that nothing else lives in the Amazon. That could be much of a surprise considering what was on our list to begin with. Well, as it turns out, the most habitant of the Amazon River would be unique and bizarre if it were to be found in the ocean where most of its relatives dwell found. In this river, it's an absolute marvel: the Amazon, River, dolphin or boat. Oh - can grow as large as an adult human, but the weirdest part of it is clearly the color the boat. Oh, is bright, pink and the present theory is the dolphin. Has blood capillaries near the surface of its skin, which gives it its hue? But nobody really knows for sure local legend, however, tells of these giant mysteries, transforming into attractive men and then luring unsuspecting women to the water's edge before stealing them away to the waters. Deep realms, while the legend probably doesn't have a whole lot, that's based!
