Mammals...
The Amazon Rainforest contains a wide variety of mammals, from the large South
American Tapir to the tiny mouse opossum. In the Manu National Park (within the Peruvian Rainforests) alone, 200 species of mammals have been documented. The Amazon Rainforest is also home to both primitive marsupials and edentates, two
species of riverine dolphin, most of the New World monkeys, the manatee, and the world's largest otter and many more. Several of these species are becoming endangered as the rainforest slowly disappear. Many species of arboreal and terrestrial mammals are specialized to living in the rainforests depths and are severly effected by this destruction. Is it possible to save the realm of El Tigre (the jaguar) before it's too late?
