Table of Contents
Flamboyant colors, astonishing physical peculiarities, surprising behavior… The animals of the jungle have many surprises in store!
Present on the American, African and even Australian continents, the jungle is made up of an incredibly rich fauna and flora.
In this top 12, meet some of the most remarkable animals living in the jungle!
The Anaconda
The cinema describes him as a ruthless predator. In reality, the anaconda is a wary animal that only attacks in dangerous situations.
Scarlet macaw
The Goliath Spider
Arachnophobia or not, it’s hard to remain stoic in the face of the world’s largest spider. With a diameter of up to 30 cm, and hooks 2 cm long, the Goliath spider lives up to its name!
Beware of its venom and its stinging clouds!
The Sloth
With its head that can rotate 270°, and its large claws that allow it to live upside down most of the time, it is easily recognizable.
The Toco Toucan
Among the most emblematic animals of the jungle, the toco toucan holds a special place with its very particular physique.
It is its long, yellow and orange bill, slightly rounded, that distinguishes it from other birds. This very colorful beak, which measures on average between 15 and 24 cm, contrasts with its black plumage and white throat.
The black caiman
6 meters! This is the size that the black caiman can reach as an adult.
This crocodilian is the largest in South America. It is the ultimate predator of the Amazon jungle, and fears neither humans, nor pumas, nor jaguars.
It hunts mainly at night. Its technique is always the same: it catches its prey to drown it before engulfing it entirely!
The pygmy marmoset
The elephant
Endowed with an exceptional memory and an intelligence rare in an animal, the elephant is as fascinating as it is impressive!
The Black Panther
Did you know that this elegant feline called “black panther” is actually a leopard?
Following a genetic mutation, melanism, the black pigments of the skin and hair are accentuated, thus erasing the contrast of the black spots so distinctive of leopards.
A solitary animal, its particular color allows it to camouflage itself very easily to better hunt its prey.
The giant African island
Far from the light, well hidden in the forest floor, live very large diplopods, nicknamed “centipedes”.
African giant islands measure on average between 20 cm and 30 cm. Some specimens observed even measured up to 40 cm!
However, their nickname is a bit overused, when you know that giant iules have a little less than 300 legs.
Every jungle on Earth is full of animal species, each one more amazing than the last. In this top 12 are grouped some of the most remarkable specimens.
Of course, there are many more!
And you? What is the jungle animal that fascinates you the most?
