Read, listen and answer the questions.

The Amazon rainforest is very large. It’s called the Amazon because of the river that runs through it. The rainforest crosses nine South American countries, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, French Guiana and Surinam. The biggest part of the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil.

It worked. We escaped from Pompeii. Just in time too.

So, it’s definitely a gate that sends us through time.

We’re time travelers. Wow, that’s amazing.

I don’t feel so good. I’m a bit dizzy. Where are we now? And are we in the present, the past or the future?

Well, we’re definitely in a jungle. I think we’re in India.

In India? How do you know?

Look at that pool. There’s a big cat next to it. I think it’s a tiger it’s looking at the big branch near the water.

Yeah I see it. But that isn’t just a branch. It’s also a snake. A big snake.

That snake is an anaconda. And that isn’t a tiger. It’s a jaguar. Tigers have stripes. Jaguars have spots like this one. I think we’re in South America in the Amazon rainforest.

Aren’t you clever? So what’s that animal hanging from the other branch. That’s a sloth.

Are they dangerous?

Don’t be silly. They only eat leaves.

And that bird with the colorful beak. What’s that?

It’s a Toucan.

So how do you know about all these animals?

I’ve got a book on the Amazon rainforest.

Hey, look at this beautiful frog on the leaf.

Don’t touch that. It’s poisonous.

Thanks. I didn’t know that.

Okay, let’s get going. We have to find a way out of this place.
