If you were able to enter the the upper canopy slowly from the top you would soon discover that the frist layer is virtually a desert.

Amazon The following list of mammal :
Species is modified only slightly from that of the previous edition. Previous authors B. Patterson, JPatton and L. Emmons are far and away the authorities on the distribution of South American mammal species. I have added only four species, three of which are marsupials and one spiny rat. These species were registered by our group of mamma legists in Manu National Park during work on the Amazon Biodiversity Project directed by Dr. John Terborch of Duke University, from 1993 to 1995. Common names in Spanish for the mammals vary from one locality to another. The common names which I have included are those which are used by the people living in the vicinity of the Manu Biosphere Reserve.
AMAZON PERU NEW SPECIES:
A specimen of Mono Delphi’s was captured in Manu Park by the Amazon Biodiversity Project in 1995; it is not easily classed with any described species, and therefore is listed as genus only. Description of the specimen is in progress. The fourth Proechimys is a distinct species which is currently being described.
