When you travel in South America, you’d better pay attention to the following three kinds of dangerous South American animals.
Piranhas(水虎鱼)
Although only a small number of piranhas are considered to be dangerous to humans, the red-bellied piranha is definitely one of those. Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river, leaving only bones. This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America, and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly. It is said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower.
Anacondas(水蟒)
This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares!They have weighed over 230 kilograms. It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world. You certainly don’t want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim. It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils(缠绕)around all over its target, increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies. Its jaws are powered by large muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile. They don’t have poison. Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when humans are near.
Golden Poisonous Frogs
The golden poison frog might be the most-deadly of the South American animal, which is protected by means of poison. This very small frog, less than 55 mm in length, packs enough punch(效力)to take down a pair of African bull elephants. This apparently harmless frog has always been known to have killed people who have touched it directly. It’s also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by contacting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered! In intense colors, they normally look attractive to their targets.

Spielberg was enrolled at California State University in 1965, but dropped out three years later to seek his filmmaking career.
After re-enrolling in 2001, he studied hard in his office or at home, though he didn't attend general classes. He worked on independent projects and talked with professors to receive his bachelor's degree in film and electronic arts. He said happily after attending the graduation ceremony in cap and gown, “I wanted to do this for many years as a ‘thank you’ to my parents for giving me the opportunity for an education and a career, and as personal note for my own family, and young people everywhere, about the importance of achieving their college education goals.” And he added, “ But I hope they get there quicker than I did.”
After leaving school, Spielberg worked in television through the early 1970s, and made the great thriller “Jaws”. He quickly became one of the most commercially successful filmmakers in history with such hits as “Jurassic Park” and “Saving Private Ryan”. He founded the company DreamWorks with his friends.
