The Amazon Rainforest spans 5.5 million km² across 9 South American countries, with 60% in Brazil. This biodiversity hotspot contains 10% of Earth's known species, including 400+ mammal species like the jaguar.
Characterized by 2,000-10,000mm annual rainfall and 25°C average temperature, the rainforest features 4 distinct layers. Jaguars utilize the dense understory for hunting and river systems like the 6,400km Amazon River for aquatic prey.
