Episode overview
In the company of Alberto Angela, we journey into the heart of the tropical jungle, the green ring straddling the equator, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. It comprises 8% of our planet's land mass and is our lungs: the tropical forest is one of the planet's richest environments for life. It has been calculated that in just a few square kilometers of Central American forest, 125 mammal species, 400 bird species, 100 reptile species, 60 amphibian species, and nearly 40,000 insect species can be found. Among them are legendary animals such as tarantulas, which can grow up to 12 cm in length, the anaconda, which can reach 8 meters, and the boa constrictor, which grows to 2.5 meters. Then there are felines such as the jaguar in the Americas, and the leopard and tiger in Asia.
