they did not say the tributaries in question, the only mention was the 
"birth" of the amazon being the confluence of solimoes and negro, and the 
waters not mixing for miles.

don't want to be too skeptical but a lot of shots are staged (or edited from 
different takes of different animals/locations), as i said... you can see in 
many of the fish feeding shots that it did seem clearly staged (either in the 
river or in a tank), esp. the matamata and tucunare shots.  wow, imagine a 
tank big enough to have a jaguar wading in it... :-)

vinny, i can send you a tape of it in exchange for some apistos... :-)
