[gentle music] Welcome to Mystery Kids Podcast. Hey everyone, welcome back to the Mystery Kids Podcast. I'm your host, Tess, and today's episode might sound like something out of a fantasy movie, but I promise you, this is 100% real. Deep in the Amazon rainforest, there is a river so hot it can boil animals alive. Not near a volcano, not in a geyser field, not even in a place scientists expected. This is the story of the boiling river of the Amazon. Before we jump into this story, I just want to do a huge shout-out to our Patreon and subscribers.
