Wildlife Featured in the Film Amazon Adventure immerses audiences right into the biodiverse rainforest. The following is a list of the scientic names with photos of over 70 dierent species that appear in the lm in chronological order. Henry Bates' fascinating 11-year exploration through the perilous Amazon jungle shows him in constant contact with the wildlife inhabiting these visually stunning ecosystems. Everything from the smallest beetle crawling along the forest oor to the immense trees creating a canopy above, Bates wanted to examine it all. Things are not always what they seem as Bates discovered many astounding examples of camouage and mimicry. He also collected over 14, 500 dierent species while in the Amazon and 8, 000 new to science.

Dr. Blanca Huertas, seen to the left, was on set from the NHM to ensure the proper care and use of these original specimens. The butteries were put in quarantine for two weeks after lming. Bates used this chain of butteries as the evidence for the rst ever case to be put forward for the creation of a new species. Charles Darwin said that Bates’ discoveries brought us as close as we could ever get to witnessing the creation of a new species on this Earth. Darwin included them in the next edition of his famous book, On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. Published in 1863, Bates’ two-volume travel book The Naturalist on the River Amazons, included his scientic research and ndings. His book was so popular that an abridged one-volume version was published which is still in print today, but does not include all the scientic details. By the time Henry Bates’ book was published in 1863, he had added another three butteries to his Chain of Speciation. 13.
