Jessica: So, what’s the plan for tomorrow?
Guide: You must be up by five o’clock
to see the animals.
Tracy: That’s really early!
Guide: Well, we have to be out on the river
before it gets too hot. Later in the day
many animals protect themselves from
the sun and from enemies, and they
hide in the shade.
Tracy: What wildlife will we see?
Guide: Lots. Many species of birds, crocodiles,
and you may even see an anaconda,
the huge snake that can measure
more than nine meters in length,
and some small mammals like the tapir and the capybara.
Jessica: What should or shouldn’t we do during the trip?
Guide: You must follow all the instructions that l and the other
guides give you, and especially you mustn’t go in the river.
Jessica: Because of the snakes?
Guide: No, because of the piranhas. They’re dangerous fish!
Tracy: What should we bring with us?
Guide: You should carry sunscreen lotion and water,
and don’t forget your cameras.
Tracy: Do we need mosquito repellent?
Guide: You’d better bring some. Sometimes the
mosquitoes are as vicious as the piranhas.
