Jungle comin atcha 🤘💥 🐍

Is it a snake? Is it a swarming manifestation of the Antichrist? No it’s called a rolling swarm. By making layers these Amazonian sawfly larvae are showing a behavior also employed by caterpillars… In a rolling swarm, caterpillars on the bottom create a conveyor belt effect where the caterpillars on the second level are moving faster. The caterpillars on the third level are moving at it even more accelerated rate. As individuals reach the front of the line, they become the bottom and the bottom climbs onto them to become level two in a constant cycle. Not only do the caterpillars, get a speed boost, but they also appear to be a larger and more intimidating organism than any lone caterpillar slowly creeping along the forest floor.. How does this make you feel?

All hail 😂😂😅🫡

The true Giants of the Jungle are one of our most irreplaceable resources. that they were saplings before Europeans reached South America, that they were standing as both of the world wars came and went, that they hold complex and ancient matrixes of life — worlds unto themselves. They are skyscrapers of life. They are the giants who shaded our ancestors. . #Repost @araquemoficial Barcelos. Rio Negro. Amazonas

Midnight in the Amazon Rainforest — can you guess the snake?

Living in nature, many of us feel a kind of anxiety about going back to the world. I've heard it from friends who never really spent any time in the wild and then go on a ten day hiking trip in the mountains. It happens quickly. You start to love the sunrise, the stars, the birds, the simple facts of life and the authenticity of living every moment. The radical truth contained in the chemical physical elements around you: rocks, water, soil. It all makes sense. You feel geologically aligned with the universe, accepting and even appreciating how small you are. You look back at society, the churning complicated communication storm, the ideological hurricane, the bombs the traffic the hysteria... And realize it's a good day to be listening to the tinamous sing down the afternoon. That the trees look especially tall and wise today. The frogs will be out soon, the otters are heading to sleep. it's a good time to be fishing for piranha at the end of the world. "Society, you're a crazy breed. I hope you're not lonely without me" -Eddie Vedder Into the Wild

“My mustache is nicer than yours” he shouts at just about whoever walks by.

Working out in the jungle there’s always something teasing our concentration. A mosquito on your ankle as you do crunches, a bead of sweat as you tremble through a long plank. Running on these trails you are constantly taking spider webs to the face. There’s always going to be that one thing tugging at your mind. It’s a great meditation in never stopping. No distractions.

Hundreds of caiman, endless river bends —warm coffee. Talk of tinamou calls, camera traps, and uncontacted tribes. Week-long boat rides through the wildest place on earth on assignment with the Junglekeepers family. Stay warm my friends.
