The Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve is a large, jungle area in Ecuador. The reserve is comprised of rivers, lagoons, swamps, and forests which are flooded in the rainy season. Due to the large amount of rain the reserve gets, the water level at the reserve raises or lowers by 20 feet depending on the season. Because of the large amount of water in the Reserve, the primary form of transportation is by canoe. The Cuyabeno reserve is one of the most diverse regions of the Amazon. For example, one third of all the birds in the Amazon can be found in Cuyabeno. Also, there are many different types of mammals in the reserve, including monkeys, tapirs, and a member of the wild boar family called the Peccary. Also, Cuyabeno is home to one of the most famous and sought after animals in the Amazon, the Pink River Dolphin.
