rain forest world records

The rain forest is amazing. Here are some world records.

Smelliest bird:
This record was broken in the Columbia rain forest instead of the Amazon. This bird's smell comes from a strange diet and its unique digestive system.
[this is not the heaviest anaconda. just an average sized anaconda.]

The heaviest snake:
The average sized anaconda is 18-20 feet long. This female anaconda was 27 feet long and 9 inches and was estimated to weigh 500. Now that's heavy!

Largest tropical rain forest:
The Amazon with 2.5 million miles squared.

I hope you enjoyed the rain forest records.
