Peek in on bird-eating spiders as large as dinner plates and a green anaconda that can reach 30 feet in length. See the ‘water monkey’ fish leap three feet out of the water to capture insects on tree branches. At Shedd’s newest permanent exhibition you’ll immerse yourself in a journey on the most mysterious and diverse habitat on earth. In one visit you’ll witness the changing seasons of the floodplain forest and meet more than 250 species that live there – piranhas, birds, sloths, insects, snakes, catfish, stingrays and caiman lizards.
