In the Amazon Basin, flooding often occurs between June and October.
The forest areas are described by amount of flooding that occurs: not flooded, occasionally flooded, or regularly flooded.
Our arrival to the Amazon was in April during the occasionally flooded Amazon season. Some of the local inhabitants move to dry land, while fish, reptiles, and other aquatic animals migrate into these newly flooded habitats to feed and reproduce, then they return to the main channels when the floodwaters recede.
