I made a lot of research about the universe and galaxies and I hate to calculate everything on my own because of miles and billions/trillions.. one billion is 1000th of a "german" billion which makes numbers that are BIG (like in the universe) way different.. like.. with miles and kilometer its alright because it is obvious what they mean but once you translate things or get research in english (because most of the information is in english of course) it gets messed up quick. :( And even in the smaller units it is stupid like.. I am 6.5ft but there is more than 6.10ft because of inch and feet and yea. I hope they change the system worldwide to metric

For those who are familiar with the metric system: At 3:52: "Hanging no more than 3.7 meters above the forest floor, the second layer of the Amazon Rainforest is the understory." At 7:32: "Each species has evolved to fill a specific niche, from the darkest corners of the forest floor to the tallest treetops, 60 meters above the ground."

[@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person]

As a Brazilian, we learned about Amazon's niches "horizontally", being the Igapó, Mata de Várzea and Terra Firme. Those regions being defined by the rivers' floods. Igapó is flooded by black waters(Like those of Rio Negro which forms the Amazon), Várzea floods from time to time by white(actually, brown) waters(Like those of Rio Solimões which forms the Amazon, or is the Amazon proper) and Terra Firme doesn't flood. That doesn't include the mountainous regions of the Amazon like in Guianas, Venezuela and Peru, since...well... they are not in Brazil. However, I never thought about how diverse our forest is "vertically" as well. That means, in a 100m3 of Forest, we can split into smaller cubes and find different niches.

This vegetation is also extremely dense making it impossible to a human move around. And to top it off, the insects, especially mosquitos, would just eat you alive. xD this environment is extremely diversity and rich, but it's not made for humans. but at least It's a good place for researchs.
