Survival Tips!

Many people go to Africa or to the Amazon for a great wildlife experience these days. But how can you make sure you enjoy your exciting vacation in the jungle? Here are a few survival tips to help you stay safe...

Tip 1: Remember, you aren't Tarzan so you shouldn't swing from trees; branches can break easily and you can get seriously injured! Also, you shouldn't sleep under dead trees because they can fall on you. You should keep to the forest floor.

Tip 2: Worms and insects such as ants are great to eat if you don't have foof in the jungle. A word of earning, though! You shouldn't eat insects that are brightly-colored or very hairy; they are often toxic and you can poison yourself if you eat them!

Tip 3: You should always check your boots and clothing for insects and snakes before you put them on. They love warm comfortable places to sleep in and your clothes are great for this. You should also check yours boots durning the day as leeches can get in there and can give you a nasty bite.

Tip 4: You should avoid swimming in rivers and lakes. If you are near water, you should always check for aligator tracks.

Follow these simple tips and you should have a trouble-free time in the jungle!
