Amazon Rainforest info The climate is hot and humid with year round rainfall and never dropping below 64 degrees but the average is About 77. It also as lots of trees.

To build a shelter in the Amazon Rainforest we would use strong roots that can be cut by a machete to tie things. Loose branches on the ground or ones we can cut down to make a frame of a shelter. For the ridge pole you want a thick sturdy branch. A boulder to "rest" your shelter against and provide another wall. Then palm leafs to go over it so we will be somewhat protected by the rain. Dried leafs for another layer of protection or a cover on the ground and moss for camouflage. Shelter

To build a fire the materials that we would use would be wood, birds nest, dry material, rocks, roots, sticks, and branches. To make the fire, we would start by tying a root to a strong stick. Then we would put another stick vertical on a piece of wood. Another piece of would be put on top that to hold it, then we would rub the bow back and forth on the stick to create friction and a spark. At the end of the spindle or stick that is rubbing against the wood, we would put the dry material or birds nest in hope of one of the sparks to catch it on fire. Fire

Edible Animals Edible animals that we can find and eat in the amazon rainforest are the anteater, the toucan and harpy eagle for its eggs, the sloth, fish, and the capybara. The anteater and sloth are very slow and easy to catch. We would climb in trees to get the eggs of the toucan and harpy eagle and then put them in our pot over a fire. We would use the machete or build spears and nets to catch the fish. For the capybara we would build a trap to catch them. An animal that can be found year round in the amazon is the Tapir. We would also build a trap for them. Toucan Eggs Tapir Capybara Sloth For more information on the Anteater… https: //docs. google. com/document/d/1 HED 47 i. Z_E 4 fmt. JAx 6 XOz. GERFRio.

Water sources To get water, we would leave are pot out to collect water because it is constantly raining in the Amazon. But to get a bigger water source, we could get it from the Amazon river but we would make sure to boil it to get out all of the bad bacteria out of it. We could probably find water anywhere because it is always raining in the Amazon rainforest. For example, we could get water that would drip of the leaves. The Amazon would never run out of water sources because the constant raining. All of these water sources are available year round
