The tropical jungle covers most of the drainage area, with many kinds of plants growing there, There are as many as some 2000 kinds of fishes and other kinds of aquatic animals, such as manatees, freshwater suckling pigs and crocodiles, Among those, there is a kind of small fierce freshwater fish, called piranha.

The tropical jungle of the Amazon lies in the drainage area of the Amazon, and is the largest degrees north latitude and sixteen degrees south latitude and covers an area of 7.000.000 square kilometres; there are rich natural resources in the vast tropical jungle. The ecosystem of this area depends on the Amazon. The water vapour from the sea flows into the mainland and the rain falls, the water makes the forest grow and leaks into the soil. Much of it flows into the Amazon and to the sea at last. This forms the cycling of the water. There are many kinds of plants growing in the area. You can see bushes, tall herbs as well as tall trees, which grow rather too thickly.
