"The stream at the end of your street can be a place where you make contact with this whole other ama..." — Jeremy Wade

Normally, you want the river when the water is low and not when it's flooded. For example, there are parts of the Amazon where the water goes up to 15 meters high. This floods the forest, so a lot of the fish that normally stay close together are suddenly very hard to find.

With 'River Monsters,' it sometimes didn't matter if the story was made up or exaggerated.

Florida's nice and warm, there's all sorts of stuff living there that shouldn't be there!

One of my favorite fish is the Arapaima. It lives in the Amazon and they grow maybe nine feet long and one might weigh two of me.
