How do Amazons reproduce?

Amazons were (possibly mythical) warrior women, who are described in the Iliad as "antianeirai", meaning: those who go to war like men. They were also described by Herodotus as "androktones", killers of males. They were said to worship Artemis the virgin goddess of the hunt, and Ares the god of war. As to how they multiplied, some say the Amazons met with men from nearby societies, and chose suitable partners would take into the darkness of the forest and couple with. If they gave birth to a male, they were said to kill, blind or cripple the infant. If they kept them alive they would then use them when they grew into young men (if they were suitable) as a supply of male seed. They also took men prisoner in battle, after choosing the most handsome they then used them for their sexual pleasure, and would either kill them or use them as slaves once their usefulness had been expended.

What is El Yunque National Rain forest located in?

El Yunque National Forest is located on the east central portion of Puerto Rico. The center of the park is located about 50 km (31 Miles) east of Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, or about 60 km (37 Miles) east of the cruise ship docks in Old San Juan.

Depending on the time of day travel time can nearly double from nominally an hour to at worst 2 hours. It is a good idea to generally allow an hour and a half travel time from Old San Juan to the center of El Yunque National Forest.

The center of the U.S. National Rain Forest is 30 km (18 miles) west of Fajardo.

El Yunque is directly south of Luquillo Beach. This white sand lagoon-type beach is a must see if you take the trip out to that part of the island.

What kind of clothes should people bring to tropical rainforests?

Usually a hat but sometimes a cap. Always light long pants and never shorts (if doing climbing, heavier long pants) with leech socks if need be. A shirt (often long sleeves to protect the forearms) and a vest. Always boots! Other footware wouldn't be up to it. Sandals never because of snakes, mosquitoes, leeches, thorns and nettles etc. Some of the grasses that one passes through in clearings would cut your feet to bits if you are in sandals. Dressing in shorts, T-shirt and sandals to try and remain cool isn't really an option. Raincoat or poncho and folding umbrella. I only use the raincoat or poncho in very heavy rain as you do sweat a lot in one.

What kind of animal life in equatorial climate?

The animals would be hiding from the rain and trying to get as much sunlight as the plants.

The only animals found in equatorial climate would be things like: parrots, snakes, monkeys, elephants, shrews, cats, squirrels, otters etc. Animals would have a different life to animals in Britan.
