Filmed on location in the Rainforests of Eastern Peru. I was on a tour run by Rainforest Expeditions (http://www.perunature.com/) Please Share with your friends if you enjoyed it. The camera we used is the Phantom Miro 320S http://www.visionresearch.com/Products/High-Speed-Cameras/Phantom-Miro-M320S/ The footage we obtained was incredible. I'll demonstrate that in upcoming videos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GET SMARTER SECTION: Thanks to Rainforest Expeditions for inviting me down, if you'd like to go down to the Amazon Rainforest and see all of this for yourself check them out at http://www.perunature.com/ Phil Torres is the Conservation Biologist in the video who was wise enough to bring his books to the middle of the jungle! You can tweet Phil (http://www.twitter.com/phil_torres) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GET STUFF SECTION: (If I did this right these should be working Amazon affiliate links to purchase the stuff I like to use.

Yes it bothers me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tweet ideas to me @SmarterYouTube Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved. The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!
