Look down in the rainforest and you might see a hunting wasp stinging a Caterpillar and depositing its eggs inside. Or, look up in the verdant canopy and you see the hanging nest of Oropendola weaver bird. You will not notice though, that the Oropendola have located their nest on a branch right next to a large white wasps nest. Why? So if any predator tries to attack the birds they will also rile the wasps - an ingenious natural security system.

This Amazon rainforest in Southeastern Peru is a largely uninhabited wilderness that is home to some of the most endangered wildlife, and one of the worlds largest Macaw Clay- Lick - a cliff of red clay, where blue. red and green macaws flock for a dirt breakfast every morning.
